A Special Place

There is a special place in life, that needs my humble skill,
a certain job I'm meant to do, which no one else can fulfil.

The time will be demanding and the pay is not too good
and yet I wouldn't change it for a moment - even if I could.

There is a special place in life, a goal I must attain,
a dream that I must follow, because I won't be back again.

There is a mark that I must leave, however small it seems to be,
a legacy of love for those who follow after me.

There is a special place in life, that only I may share,
a little path that bears my name, awaiting me somewhere.

There is a hand that I must hold, a word that I must say,
a smile that I must give for there are tears to blow away.

There is a special place in life that I was meant to fill,
a sunny spot where flowers grow upon a windy hill.

There's always a tomorrow and the best is yet to be,
and somewhere in this world, I know there is a place for me.
