A Tribute

You wake up each day
and try your best.
You smile, you work,
you shine like the rest.
Some people may look
and only see what you can’t do.
But you show the world
your heart and your strength too.
You can learn, you can build,
you can dream, you can sing.
You can reach your goals
and do anything.
Your courage and kindness
light up every place.
You teach everyone
about hope and grace.
We thank you, we respect you,
we stand by your side.
You are not less,
you are strong with pride.
Specially abled,
brave and true —
the world is brighter
because of you.
And in our hearts
your light will stay,
guiding our world
to a kinder day.
