Read together
Once upon a time, in a land not too far,
Lived a group of workers, all with a different star.
They each had a job that they loved to do,
And they did it with pride, through and through.
The secretary worked with papers and files,
Keeping everything organized with smiles.
The athlete ran fast and jumped high,
Always striving to reach for the sky.
The fashion designer created clothes so fine,
With patterns and colors that would always shine.
The cleaner tidied and swept with care,
Leaving the space spotless everywhere.
The baby-sitter watched the little ones play,
Keeping them safe and happy all day.
The sports coach trained athletes to win,
Teaching them the skills to begin.
The referee kept games fair and just,
Making sure no one got an unfair trust.
The engineer built bridges and machines,
Crafting wonders beyond our wildest dreams.
The bodyguard protected with strength and might,
Keeping their charges safe day and night.
The architect designed buildings so grand,
With towers that reached up to the sky so grand.
These workers all had a special role,
And they each played it with heart and soul.
No matter the job, big or small,
They did it with passion and gave it their all.
