The days shall come,
the days shall go.
Through them all,
I'll watch you grow.
From seed to tree,
you'll reach the sky.
Spread your wings,
and dare to fly!
Swim like a fish,
in the deep blue sea.
Run like a pony,
wild and free.
Be quiet as a mouse,
when day is done.
Sleep with the moon,
and rise with the sun.
Author notes
As I read through this it occurs
to me that these verses could be
acted out in simple motions.

I can see what you mean about acting out each stanza, having kids I have been there doing just that with some books
