Tiny Thank-You Table Song 043
Song promise: Alice and Callen pause together, hear Lillian’s direction, cross only when invited, and thank her afterward.
The part everyone joins: “Stop, look, listen—then choose.”
Lyrics
Alice hears the pear leaves tapping.
Callen hears a wagon roll.
Alice starts toward the farm path.
Callen says, “Let’s stop and check.”
Stop, look, listen—then choose.
Wait for the grown-up’s crossing cue.
Hands stay still; feet wait too.
Stop, look, listen—then choose.
At the creek bridge, both stand steady.
Alice looks from left to right.
Callen listens for the wagon.
Both wait where the path is bright.
Stop, look, listen—then choose.
Wait for the grown-up’s crossing cue.
Hands stay still; feet wait too.
Stop, look, listen—then choose.
Butterfly wings seem set to clap.
Pear leaves tap a tiny tune.
Make-believe table echoes whisper,
“Wait until the helper calls.”
By the pasture fence, Lillian
calls, “The path is clear. Cross now.”
Alice and Callen walk together.
Then they call, “Thank you, Lillian.”
Stop, look, listen—then choose.
Wait for the grown-up’s crossing cue.
Hands stay still; feet wait too.
Stop, look, listen—then choose.
Thank-You Tag
Stop for safety. Hear the helper.
Cross when they say it is clear.
Afterward, a quiet thank-you
can be spoken, signed, or shown.
