SPECIAL

SPECIAL

I've had the greatest privilege

To work in special education

Helping and watching their progress

Brought me both joy and jubilation

There were times when they got rowdy

And made attempts at acting out

But with firmness and true love

They understood what it's all about

They may be slower than some others

That's all that sets these kids apart

When you consider their special needs

It's plain to see that they're very smart

Not everyone can do this type of work

They say I'm special but that's not true

All that's needed is love and understanding

To see that they are really very smart

Seeing their progress through the years

Gave me a heart felt warmth inside

I loved them like they were my own

They truly are a great sense of pride
