​RECESS
Schoolyard, playground, freedom, wind blows
I can run, swing, & breathe the air -- through my nose
Let’s toss the ball, jump rope, or play hide-and-seek
There are no confinements or boundaries – I can stretch – I can reach
 
I am learning – I am playing -- I am growing
I am discovering.  Toss it to me!  Soon I will be knowing
Beaming sun, gentle wind, smell of grass – THIS is the best
Even when I am back indoors, my heart will not rest
 
Recess is over & now the teacher says that it’s back to our seats
But, learning is more than books, lessons, & hand-out sheets
Yet, I have learned so much at playtime-recess – more than most will ever know
To share, to be nice, to compete, to lose, to win, to tie – mostly to grow
 
Schoolyard, playground, free space, winds blow
Freedom, living, discovering – such vital LEARNING that a young child -- really needs to know
