Play Today
You say you love your children
And are 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 children are solving problems
They will use that skill everyday.
You're saying you don't want your son
To play in 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'll be learners always.
