“I Use My Words” by Jaymie Gerard
Goodness, I am ANGRY
It makes me want to SHOUT
And STOMP and WEAR A MEAN FACE
To let the ANGER out
Instead I USE MY WORDS to say
WHAT I AM MAD ABOUT
Goodness, I am sad today
It makes me want to cry
And pout and whine and whimper
And sniffle, sob and sigh
Instead I use my words
To tell everybody why
Goodness, I am happy!
It makes me want to run
And go wild and act all crazy
Until the day is done
Instead I use my words ‘cause that way
We can ALL have fun!
When my FEELINGS get too STRONG
I know it’s time to say,
“I’ll USE MY WORDS to show how I feel
In a SAFE and HEALTHY way”
