Why I'm Special

 

If diamonds are priceless because they're rare, then how much ore priceless I must be.

For in all this huge wide world there is only one of me.

 

And if I marvel at computers because they do such wondrous things.

How much more marvelous must I be, for I can see, love, sing, dance and dream.

 

And if people think that an animal is special just because it can be a friend.

How much more special I must be, for I can love all those that care for me.

 

And if people get excited over an oyster's pearl.

How much more excited they would be if they could see the beauty that's inside me.

 

For just like that little oyster, there is a treasure that's in me.

And all the beauty of that treasure awaits the one that looks inside to see.

 

And if you searched through all of the sands of time, and throughout its eternity, you'd find that I'm so special that once I'm gone there will never be another me.
