Though at times you may feel bad
You are special to your mother
And important to your dad
Your parents may have chided you
And you've never understood-
That they wanted what is best for you
And did it for your good.

Because you are so special
They wanted to see you grow-
Into the kind of person-
That people like to know
Life isn't always easy
But you have to hold on tight
To the knowledge that you're special
And always do what's right

If you learn to cope with problems
And be careful what you say
If you keep the ten commandments
Then there will come a day-
In the not to distant future
When you'll be very glad
That you were important
To a loving Mom and Dad
