The Real Gift

I got you a gift
she's a soft and snugly mouse
Your favorite
Yeah, I still remember
We haven't changed that much

Today was confusing
You found a kind of toy you liked
but you aren't allowed to have it
all because other people would laugh at you
That's not okay

I can't get one like it
but I did bring you her
someone to cuddle with at night
and you can carry her around and take care of her
just like that doll you wanted

I hope you carry her around without fear
I hope you carry yourself without fear
I hope you can hold her
and not be afraid
to be who you are

It's okay to be who you are
to be what you are
Cos in the whole world
There is only one of you

That's why you
are the real gift

A girl holding a white mouse stuffie.
