Wiggly Snail Trail Jingle
Welcome gate—curve and see;
One silver snail trail crossed quietly.
Aydin said, “I feel unsure.”
Haylee listened, calm and near.
Fern trail—slow and small;
No one had to fix it all.
Haylee asked, “Rest or walk?”
Aydin chose, “A quiet walk.”
Picnic rail—what shall we choose?
Say the feeling, rest our shoes—
Or whisper silly, “Snail-trail-sway!”
Then let kind listening lead the way.
Feeling echoes in make-believe play
Curved like snail trails through the day.
Name it softly; listen near;
Kind friends make room for feelings here.
