The Giraffe Who Was Friends With the Moon and the Sun

The black giraffe With the orange and silver spots Looked up at his mum with a frown, Is it OK that I look A little bit strange? Have you heard what the other ones do say? His mum looked down With kindness in her eyes And glanced at his odd looking skin, My love, you are beautiful Your skin is the night sky A blanket of stars to light our way, Why look like all the rest, When your skin holds the sun close by And is best friends with moon up on high? Little one You must dare to be different I say Walk away from those that are mean For you will gallop from star to star Sing rings around the planets afar You will dance with the very best, See yourself with my eyes my dear If only you knew what I knew Face your life with courage Don't be afraid of who you are.
