In the mirror, what do I see?
Someone special that is me!

No one’s looks are just like those!
All my favorite things to do
Are not all the same for you.

How I laugh, how I talk,
How I run, how I walk,
In the mirror, what do I see?
Someone special, that is me

For walking today
Touch your elbows
Where they bend;
