If a chick is born just like the rest
some will say it is mediocre at best
and assuming that is has all it needs
will pass by without giving it feed

But a chick that is patient and waits its turn 
is always the chick that gets the last worm
And a chick that listens and doesn’t leave the nest
never has a mother search for it ready to fix its whole mess

While many may only notice the wrong,
I see that this chick is very strong
And someday when this chick grows big and flies away
that bird will spread love through its song
and its play
