Kind Seed Packet Jingle
Orchard path—listen, see;
One sealed empty packet waited quietly.
Kaydence asked, “Pretend with me?”
Alice said, “Yes—one sprout can be.”
Pond edge—shake it one time;
Kaydence made one soft packet sound.
Alice lifted both hands low;
Both paused after one pretend grow.
Old oak branch—what shall we choose?
Grow once more, or rest our shoes—
Or whisper silly, “Seed-song-stop!”
Then let the pretend game pause.
Packet whispers in make-believe play
Sent tiny garden sounds through the gray.
Pretend, shake once, pause together;
Shared ideas can grow together.
