YOU'RE SOMEBODY SPECIAL

By Josie Whitehead

You're Somebody Special

You're somebody special

     And I'm special too.
It’s lovely to meet you.  

     Well, how do you do?

​

Now, search out those talents

     And make yourself known.
Please don’t go through life

     As a person unknown.

​

Don’t hide in that corner.  

     Come into the light. 
Show the side of your person

     That’s shining and bright.


Speak clearly and surely!  

     Throw your voice out with pride.
You've a lot going for you.

      Take the world in your stride.

      

Don’t listen to those

     Who are hurtful and mean:
They’re not the good folk 

     That you’ll want on YOUR scene.


Make friends with the people

     Who’ll show you respect. 
There are many of those

     Who you’ll know, I expect.


Look the world in the face,

     Put on a sweet smile 
And the things you’ll achieve

     Will be very worthwhile.
