 A SMILE
A smile costs nothing, but gives much.
It enriches those who receive,
without making poorer those who give,
It takes but a moment,
yet the memory of it may last forever.
A smile creates happiness in the home,
fosters good will in business,
and is the sign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary,
cheer to the discouraged,
sunshine to the sad,
and is nature’s best antidote for trouble.
Yet, a smile cannot be bought,
begged, borrowed, or stolen,
For it is of no value to anyone else
until it is given away.
Some people are too tired
to give you a smile.
Give them one of yours,
No none needs a smile as much
As those who have none to give.
 I AM RESPONSIBLE!
When you do your job everyday, Use your manners, and say thanks and please,
You’re being responsible – that’s the way! Cover your nose if you have to sneeze

Tidy your room and clean up your toys, Being responsible is easy, you see,
Work hard at school, don’t make too much noise You can do it, please show me!

Say ‘I’m sorry’ if you make a mistake,

If something isn’t yours, then please don’t take.
 THE BALLOON MAN
He always comes on market days
And holds balloons – a lovely bunch –
And in the market square he stays,
And never seems to think of lunch.
They're red and purple, blue and green,
And when it is a sunny day
The carts and people get between
You see them shining far away.
And some are big and some are small,
All tied together with a string.
And if there is a wind at all
They tug and tug like anything.
Some day perhaps he'll let them go
And we shall see them sailing high,
And stand and watch them from below —
They would look pretty in the sky!
 MOTHER EARTH

Look after our earth with care
'Cos it's a planet we all share
Humans, animals, plants and trees

Mother Earth, Mother Earth
It's a great place to be
Mother Earth, Mother Earth
Home planet for you and me
In ourselves we must take pride
For our future we need to strive

Light the world up with your smile!
Mother Earth, Mother Earth
It's a great place to be
Mother Earth, Mother Earth
