Number Fourteen
--
The world is not kind
To those who are weak
To those who are ugly
To those who are meek
The world is not welcoming
To those who are different
To those who are special
To those that don't blend in
The world is not pleasant
To those who are sick
To those who are dying
To those that don't live
The world does not smile upon
Those who don't conform
Those who don't act right
Those who don't belong
But we can
Our smiles will make a difference
Our acceptance will make them strong
Our love shall be a beacon
That helps them along
Our words will be their comfort
Our presence shall be their strength
Our touch shall constantly remind them
That not all is unkind
We can be great
By the little things that we do
For they make the greatest difference
To both me and you
So smile at a stranger
Hug a friend
Tell a lover you love them
Make the world shine again
Because we can
