In a country far and wide,
There are buildings side by side,
A church where people go to pray,
And a theater where actors play.

There's a market for food and fun,
And a hospital for when we're done,
A library for books to borrow,
And buildings tall for us to follow.

Each building has a different role,
And they're all important, that's the goal,
So let's explore each one in turn,
And see what lessons we can learn.

In the church, we learn to love,
And thank the Lord up above,
In the theater, we learn to act,
And express ourselves without a pact.

In the market, we learn to share,
And show each other that we care,
In the hospital, we learn to heal,
And comfort others who may feel.

In the library, we learn to read,
And satisfy our curious need,
And in the buildings towering high,
We learn to aim for the sky.

So let's appreciate each building we see,
And all the knowledge they bring to be,
For each one helps us grow and learn,
In this country that we all yearn.

Reflections

1. What are some of the different types of buildings mentioned in the poem?
2. What lessons do we learn from going to church or the theater?
3. Why is the hospital an important building in a community?
4. How can we benefit from visiting the library?
5. What can we learn from the buildings that are tall?
