The Crwth
A stringed instrument
I am an instrument that you can play.
Pluck my strings or use a bow.
I am a word that’s fun to say,
a W is a vowel, yes it is so.
A nonconformist is what I am.
With a strange letter, this I know.
By myself I like to stand,
It gives me much more room to grow.
Do you have a special trait?
Do you make it a work of art?
Is it something truly great,
that sets you apart?
Because when you stand out,
unique, you prove you are.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt,
you will shine like a star.
Let me play your song.
It is a way for you have your say.
May this make you strong,
In your unique way.
