HOW DO YOU SAY?

(a poem by 10 year old Emma)

How do you say

‘What a beautiful day!’,

‘Hello’ and ‘Hey’?

What do you mean

By the ‘ocean unseen’,

A ‘scrumptious sardine’?

Does ‘Good day' mean ‘Good bye’,

Does ‘Good bye'  mean ‘Good day’?

Whatever you mean,

Some might not have seen,

Or even heard,

Of the beauty of words.

No language is the same,

As is no name,

When words are tame,

Countries can be united.

But words can be bad,

They can make someone sad,

So use words for good,

Have you understood?
