He's Special

For everyone out there who's had one of those 'special' siblings.

They say he's special

and you smile

'cause you've known it

for a while

you've heard it all your life

He's special

 

You're lonely and angry

but you can't complain

'cause all you ever hear

is how he'd give anything

to be normal

and you smile

He's special

 

There's Dr.'s appointments

and hospital stays

medications and special aids

he needs more attention

more help, more everything

and you smile

He's special

 

Everyone asks

Everyone knows

how he's doing, where he goes

but no one knows you

and you smile

He's special

 

At school you're just

his little sister

you know his alergies

you know his schedule

they know your name at least

and you smile

He's special

 

One last hospital bed

one last hospital room

one last Dr.'s visit

one last thing to do

and you don't ask why

you just say goodbye

and you smile

He's special

 

now they ask how's your momm

and they talk about him

like they remember when

and the time he did this

make jokes about that

while laighing 'bout him

and you smile

He's special

 

They say he was special

and you smile

'cause you've known it

for a while

you've heard it all your life

He's special
