I like to look and listen
I need to touch and try
I want to smell and sample
And ask the question why?
Give me time to wonder
To imagine and pretend
Space to run and bend and stretch
Share secrets with a friend
I want to hold and handle
I must play to understand
For I need to know so many things
To find out whom I am.
“The ladder of education can never
be secure unless that first rung is firmly in place”.
