A Place For Me

There is a special place in life,
That needs my humble skill,
A certain job I'm meant to do,
Nobody else can fill.
The hours are demanding,
And the pay is not too good,
And yet I wouldn't change it
For a moment, if I could.

There is a special place in life,
A goal I must attain,
A dream that I must follow,
For I won't be back again.
There is a mark that I must leave,
However small it 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 blot 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!
