"My face may be different - But my feelings the same - I laugh and I cry - And I take pride in my gains - I was sent here among you - To teach you to love - As God in the heavens - Looks down from above - To Him I'm no different - His love knows no bounds - It's those here among you - In cities and towns - That judge me by standards - That man has imparted - But this family I've chosen - Will help me get started - For I'm one of the children - So special and few - That came here to learn - The same lessons as you - That love and acceptance - It must come from the heart - We all have the same purpose - Though not the same start - The Lord gave me life - To live and embrace - And I'll do it as you do - But at my own pace"
