I cannot change the way I am,
I never really try,
God made me different and unique,
And I never ask Him why.

If I appear different,
There's nothing I can do,
You must accept me as I am,
As I've accepted you.

God made a casting of each life,
Then threw the mold away,
Each child is different from the rest,
Just like night from day.

So often we will criticize,
The things that others do,
But, do you know, they do not think,
The same as you and me.

So God in all His wisdom,
Who knows us all by name,
He didn't want to be bored,
That's why we're not the same.

So please accept me for who I am,
And love me just the same,
I may be very small in size,
But my heart is big as the sky.

This is for my daughter Rhonda for she is special,
She may be tiny and not be quite like us,
But if the world loved just a little bit,
Of how much she loves, what a beautiful world,
This would be; she fights everyday for her life
 But she's tough and she has God on her side.
