I AM SPECIAL POEM

I AM SPECIAL

(for older children)

In all the world there is nobody like me

Since the beginning of time

There has never been another person like me.

Nobody has my smile.

Nobody has my eyes, my nose, my hair, my hands, or my voice.

No one sees the things just as I do.

In all of time there has been no one who laughs like me, no one who cries like me …

And what makes me laugh and cry will never provoke identical laughter and tears from anybody else — ever.

I am the only one created with my set of natural abilities.

There will always be somebody who is better at one of the things I am good at …

But no one in the universe will ever have the same combination of talents, ideas, natural abilities and spiritual abilities as me.

Through all of eternity, no one will look, talk, walk, think or do exactly like me.

I’m special!

I’m rare!

And as in all rarities, there is great value.

I need not attempt to imitate others.

I will accept, and yes — CELEBRATE my differences.

I’m special.

I choose to believe that I am here for a special purpose.

Out of the billions of applicants, only one is qualified,

Only one has the best combination of what it takes.

That just as surely as every snowflake that falls has a perfect design and no two designs are the same —

I am designed to live my life uniquely.

My life will bring to me my own set of challenges,

And I will face these and live my life to the best and fullest —

Not just for my own sake but for all those around me.
