My Special Thing

An Australian soldier smartly on the book shelf.
Looking brave and tough standing tall.
He was proud of himself in his spectacular overcoat and his gun was shining like the sun.
Though he thought he could do more than stand on a shelf.
He thought he could guard the house but he was too small.
Or go on daring adventures but that wouldn’t do at all.
Then one day he thought if I’m on the shelf and not the floor or in the toybox then I must be special and everyone must be happy where I am.
