"FINDING MAGIC IN HIS POT"
by Becky Hemsley
He carries specks of starlight
In a little silver pot
And they tell him that he’s strange
Because he has something they’ve not
What it is he keeps within
For they’d rather speak in whispers
That he doesn’t quite fit in
They think that being different
Is a lonely, scary shame -
They don’t realise that our magic
Lies in how we’re not the same
Yet when it’s dark, they search
For all the light his starlight casts
But they don’t know it’s his doing
‘Cause they never cared to ask
And even if they asked him
They’d be likely to misjudge
And instead of silver starlight
They’d see only specks of dust
See they’ve already decided
That he isn’t worth a lot
And yet, if only they looked closer
They’d find magic in his pot
