The Difference


Her eyes are clear and her heart is true

She longs for a smile from me, from you

You and I can make the difference

Her appearence is different than yours and mine

She wishes people would give her a chance to shine

You and I can make the difference 

She longs to have some kind of friend

We dont always realize when we condescend

You and I can make the difference

Just one act of kindness would light up her life

Words used for good, not to cut like a knife

You and I can make the difference
