Dyspraxia is a Curious Word
Dyspraxia is a curious word,
it's rather hard to say and write.
But having this Dyspraxia
I have to say is a fight!
Dyspraxia is a curious word,
it can really make life a struggle,
and often, when we do our work,
we get into a muddle!
Dyspraxia is a curious word,
Can't even pour a drink into a cup!
But having this Dyspraxia
You just cannot give up!
Dyspraxia is a curious word,
Lots of things that we can't do,
but having this Dyspraxia,
Makes you special. It makes you, YOU!

If Dyspraxia could talk to me it would say.
My name is Dyspraxia I've been with you all your life,
I've seen you go through a lot of pain and strife,
I can be your worst enemy but I can be your best friend too,
I've made you what you are today; I've made you you,
Please don't ignore me and hope I'll go away,
You have to face up to me every single day,
People think you're stupid, clumsy, lazy or bad,
But it's me that taught you not to let those idiots make you sad.
Please don't feel clumsy when you break that cup,
Please don't feel useless and think you should give up,
Please have the sense of humor to laugh until you shake,
It's me that gave you that ability to laugh at your mistakes.
Please don't feel stupid when you fail the test,
Please understand you learn differently to the rest,
Please revise your way until you get it right,
It's me that gave you the ability to work with all your might.
Please try hard until you succeed,
It will happen eventually, I guarantee,
It feels so good when things happen the way you want,
It's me that gave you the determination to carry on.
Please understand when others do things wrong,
You know how they feel so tell them to carry on,
Please stay polite even when it's hard to do,
It's me that's made you care so much for others as well as you.
Please don't ever feel like you'll never fit in anywhere,
Keep searching until you find happiness somewhere,
Please stay positive through all that life will bring,
It's me that taught you to look on the bright side of things.
My name is Dyspraxia I've been with you all your life,
I've seen you go through a lot of pain and strife,
I can be your worst enemy but I can be your best friend too,
I've made you what you are today, I've made you YOU!!!
