Shake the Dust.

This is for the short boys and tall girls
and for the girl with flat curls.
This is for the single parents who work extra hours
for the boy with no one to give flowers
Shake the dust.
This is for the kids with lost dogs
and for the science teacher without any frogs
This is for the little sister who spends her life trying to get out of a shadow.
Shake the dust.
This is for the kindergardener with a runny nose
and for the girl who never got roses.
This is for the doctors who can't find cures
and for the kids who don't like mirrors
This is for the people who can't get jobs
and for the kids who wait up all night just so that they can hear santa's reindeer.
Shake the dust.
Don't let a day go by without remembering how to smile,
don't sit by and let life pass you by,
get up and make something happen.
