Play Today
A Poem For Parents
You say you love your children
And are you concerned they learn today?
So am I - that's why I'm providing
A variety of kinds of play.
You're asking me the value of blocks
And other such play?
Your daughter's creating a tower;
She may be a builder someday.
You're saying you don't want
Your son to play that "sissy" way?
He's learning to cuddle a doll;
He may be a father someday.
You're questioning the interest centers;
They just look like useless play?
Your children are making choices;
They'll be on their own someday.
You're worried your children aren't learning
and later they'll have to pay?
They're learning a pattern for learning;
For they will be learners always.
