What Goes Around Poem by Jim Yerman

When you play with your children and grandchildren they are happier and healthier…
studies have shown this to be true.
but did you know when you play with your children and grandchildren…
it could also be beneficial to you?

When you play with your children and grandchildren
from you they learn how to pick and choose,
they learn what fun there is in playing a game…
even when they lose.

When you play with your children and grandchildren
they learn patience and problem solving,
they learn how to take turns, how to think for themselves,
you get to watch their imaginations and emotions evolving.

When you play with your children and grandchildren
they learn how to be honest, kind and fair,
they learn to think for themselves, to be creative,
they learn to laugh, to love, to care.

When you play with your children and grandchildren
they learn how to joke, how to smile…how to rhyme,
they learn you're willing to give them your most precious gifts…
your attention, your love, and your time..

There have been no studies on this subject
but we've found it to be true…
if you play with your children and grandchildren when they're young
when they grow up…they'll come back and play with you.
