Don't ever make the mistake of thinking you aren't as good as other people. We are all different and we all have different talents and inabilitites. If we were all the same it would be a pretty boring world.

Nowhere in the whole wide world, Is there anyone just like you. No one touches other's lives, The same way that you do. No one does things like you do, Has that certain flare. No one has your specialness, Has that certain aire. When something doesn't turn out right, And you feel out of step, When others tend to put you down, And make you feel inept, Think on the talents that you have; The things that you do well. Where we could find another you, No tongue on earth could tell.

Ahhh!! Touching. I do believe God gives everyone a gift even though sometimes it is hard to find that gift and for others it is easy and very evident right from the start. I am glad that you wrote this one because it could inspire so many people. Thanks or visiting my page. Sara

Hello Judy … so many have hidden skills that they never seem to find and just follow. You are right, we are all unique in our own special way . Enjoyed your verse Judy - Lindsay

We must be important in some way and when we leave someone else fills the hole in their own unique way yet when we are spoken of we were not like any other. <3 Kim
