Once upon a time, in a land far away
Lived a group of friends, who loved to play
They had adventures big and small
And always had a blast, one and all

One day they set out on a quest
To fix a problem, they were the best
They worked together, side by side
And soon the problem was fixed, with pride

But they weren't done, they had more to do
There were more challenges, to see them through
They had to finish what they started
And with hard work, they wouldn't be outsmarted

Five was the number of friends they had
And each one was unique, but never sad
They laughed and played, with all their might
And never let a problem, dim their light

But then disaster struck, a fire blazed
And the friends were scared, and amazed
But they didn't run, they stood their ground
And worked together, to put the fire out

It was the first time, they faced such a feat
But they didn't give up, they wouldn't be beat
They were strong, and they were fit
And they saved the day, with every bit

So remember, dear children, no matter what
You can fix anything, you can finish what you've got
You can face the fire, and be the first to stand
With strength and determination, always at hand.

Reflections

Here are a few questions to ask kids to think about the poem:

1. Who were the main characters in the poem, and what did they set out to do?
2. What challenges did the friends face, and how did they overcome them?
3. How did the friends work together to fix the problem, finish their task, and fight the fire?
4. What qualities did the friends display throughout the poem, and how did these qualities help them to succeed?
5. What can we learn from the story of the five friends, and how can we apply these lessons to our own lives?
