Another Poem

[MomWithOCDSon]

I saw Goldie Hawn recite this many years ago, on some awards show, and it really stuck with me. So I hunted it down a while back so that I could have my own copy, held near and dear. Maybe it will resonate with some of you, as well.

 

Kids Who Are Different

by Digby Wolfe

 

Here's to the kids who are different,

The kids who don't always get A's,

The kids who have ears twice the size of their peers,

And noses that go on for days...

 

Here's to the kids who are different,

The kids they call crazy or dumb,

The kids who don't fit, with the guts and the grit,

Who dance to a different drum...

 

Here's to the kids who are different,

The kids with the mischievous streak,

For when they have grown, as history's shown,

It's their difference that makes them unique.

 

I LOVE MY "DIFFERENT" KID!
