Once upon a time, not long ago
In a huge playground, kids didn't know
How to share and play together
Some were shy, some were rather clever

But then a new kid came to town
With a smile and a friendly sound
He said, "Let's all play as one,
And we'll have a lot of fun!"

Now, from that day on, they all played
Some ran, some jumped, and some just swayed
And when they needed a blanket to rest
They all shared and took turns to be the best

They laughed and giggled, they had a ball
And soon they forgot about being small
For they had learned the power of play
And how to make new friends each day

So kids, remember what I've said
Share and play, and you'll never dread
For life is short, but it's a joy
When you have some friends to enjoy!
