THE HEART OF A CHILD
Little children love daisy-rings
Huge truck tire swings
Wet snowball fights
June’s firefly lights
They love all gentle dogs and cats
Baseballs and bats
Pink bubble-gum
A song to hum
They love the fun that summer brings
Balloons on strings
Ferris wheel rides
Big swings and slides
And children love clowns and parades
Small swaps and trades
Kites that fly high
Stars in the sky
They love to lick big ice cream cones
To throw small stones
To laugh with glee
To climb a tree
They love blowing dandelion fluff
Collecting stuff
Making mud-pies
Dozens of WHY’S
And children love to test and tease
And hug and squeeze . . .
Right from the start
They win your heart
Children Love!
