Children Are Children
Children are children wherever you go.
They act the same from head to toe!
The boisterous boys with skinned-up knees,
Who love to laugh, to tickle and tease;
They twirl their fingers in their hair
And weave their daydreams in the air.
They play a game of tag and chase,
Or have a rowdy running race.
The patched-up jeans and baseball caps
Belong to boys and chummy chaps!
The giggly girls with bows in their hair,
Who skip and jump from here to there;
Dainty dresses and frilly frocks,
Shiny shoes and slippery socks;
Barrettes and braids and freckled faces,
The missing teeth with smiley spaces;
Bracelets, braces, shiny glasses . . .
We love them all, the girls and lasses!
Children are children wherever you go.
They act the same from head to toe!
