Words
get together to play.
They skip rope,
hop, jump, and run.
They form rhymes
and mark the rhythm.
Words
sing as they play
and all life
becomes a song.
Las palabras
se reunen para jugar
saltan la cuerda,
brincan y corren,
forman rimas
y marcan el ritmo.
Las palabras
cantan mientras juegan
y la vida
se vuelve cancion.
