In a world of wonder and play,
Where adventures await every day,
There are magic words to know,
That will help your imagination grow.

First, let's open a book,
With pictures and stories that will hook,
Us into a world of make-believe,
Where anything is possible to conceive.

Next, let's open a drawer,
Full of treasures to explore,
From shiny trinkets to secret notes,
Discovering them will bring us a boatload of hopes.

We can open a box,
That holds surprises like fox,
Stuffed animals or toy cars,
It's sure to bring some happy cheers and stars.

Then let's open a window,
To let in the breeze and glow,
Birds chirping and sunlight streaming,
It's like a dream come true, a wonder worth dreaming.

But sometimes we need to close,
A door or window, and let go of our woes,
To create a safe and cozy space,
A little escape to retreat at our pace.

And lastly, there's a cage,
Not for birds, but for our rage,
When we feel upset or angry,
We can lock it up and be less stingy.

So kids, remember these words,
Open, close, drawer, box, and birds,
Use them wisely, and with care,
And they'll take you places beyond compare.
