My face may be different
But my feelings, the same.
I laugh and I cry
And 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 not 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 is acceptance,
It must come from the heart;
We all have a 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.
(1992)
