Analysis of Teaching More Than Just Words
A word by itself is a wonderful thing
as worthy to the fiddle one string
but adorned with a sentence
a word blossoms in sense
inviting young hearts to sing.
So teach the words by poem or book
that coax young eyes to delve and look
teach words that dance within a song
and tempt young minds to travel along
As mystery, adventure and images churn
Inside young heads as every page turns
deeper knowledge of the language they'll yearn
for far more than words they'll be fond
wanting to discover what's happening beyond.
