The Game of Repetition<br />

When we were infants<br />

We didn't know our name<br />

But after lots of practice<br />

We learn to play the game<br />

The game of repetition<br />

That makes us say the words out loud<br />

Knowing we have learnt it<br />

Makes us feel so proud<br />

And as our confidence grows<br />

Our beliefs get strong<br />

As we realize we can do and be<br />

We learn to get along<br />

Sometimes we make mistakes<br />

It's OK, it's a learning curve<br />

For success comes easily<br />

If we believe we deserve<br />

When we are infants<br />

We don't know how to read<br />

But with lots of practice<br />

We learn to take the lead<br />

Until we reach the day<br />

When the student becomes the teacher<br />

And we watch our students thirst for knowledge<br />

Turn them into seekers<br />

And sometimes they may stumble<br />

But were there to catch them if they fall<br />

And give them lots of praise<br />

To keep them standing tall<br />

Encourage them to take the first step<br />

To turn over a new leaf<br />

Remember praise and repetition<br />

And hold firm in their belief.<br />
