"Although I May Be
Different"
Although I may be
different
I want to be treated like
you
There are just certain
deeds
Which I am not able to
do.
Be conscious of what you
say
When I am in your
midst.
Please don't talk in front
of me
As though I don't exist.
Please don't make fun
of me
As I have feelings too.
Although I may be different
I want to be treated like
you.
Although I may not speak
The words you say I can
hear.
I may comprehend all you
say
Though I cannot make it
clear.
Although I may not hear
My eyes can read your face
So let the expressions that
I see
Be an emotion I can
embrace.
Remember when I behave
poorly
That you have bad days too
Although I express it
differently
Certain things upset me
too.
I will try most anything
you ask
If I have the ability to do
So use kindness and respect
You'll be surprised at what
I can do.
Reprimand me when I am bad
When I'm good - don't
forget to praise.
Show me patience and
understanding
And what I can do will
sometimes amaze.
Although I may not speak
Although I may not
hear
I still possess a heart
with feelings
And eyes that cry real
tears.
