WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT
When we are young…just starting out…as little girls and boys
Why is it important for us to feel happiness and joy?
Why is it important at least one time every day
for a child to feel joy as they run or jump or play?
Because when we get a little older…there may come a day
when it is a little harder for us to run and jump and play…
On these days when we try…but our bodies are betraying
we can close our eyes and remember
the joy we had while playing.
On these days when we try…but our bodies may be slumping
we can close their eyes and remember
the joy we had while jumping..
On these days we will realize something altogether stunning
when we close our eyes we can remember
the joy we had while running.
