        SPECIAL PEOPLE


        The special people in this world
        are the most precious
        and the most appreciated people of all.
        No matter what happens,
        they always seem to understand.
        They go a million miles out of their way.
        They hold your hand.
        They bring you smiles,
        when a smile is exactly what you need.
        They listen
        and they hear what is said
        in the spaces between the words.
        They care,
        and they let you know
        you're in their prayers.


        Special people
        always know the perfect thing to do.
        They can make your whole day
        just by saying something
        that no one else could have said.
        Sometimes you feel like
        they share with you a secret language that others can't tune into.

        Special people
        can guide you,
        inspire you,
        comfort you,
        and light up your life with laughter.


        Special people
        understand your moods and nurture your needs,
        and they lovingly know
        just what you're after.
        When your feelings come from deep inside
        and the need to be spoken to someone;
        you don't have to
        hide from,
        you share them...
        with special people.
        When good news comes,
        special people
        are the first ones you turn to,
        and when feelings overflow
        and tears need to fall,
        special people
        help you through it all.


        Special people
        bring sunlight into your life.
        They warm your world with their presence,
        whether they are far away or close by your side.
        Special people
        are gifts that bring happiness,
        and treasures that money can't buy.
