Yesterday's Dream Lyrics

     Graduating kids of Hands of Children School will be singing the popular graduation song, Yesterday's Dream. That song brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it being sang by a group of kids.

LYRICS:

Yesterday’s Dream

We are the children of yesterday's dream
we are the promise of the future we bring
Waving the banners of love to all
to every nation, the rich and the poor

Refrain: We are the world of the restless and young
and we need a hand to guide us
helping each other, build each other
As long as we're together you and me

Chorus: For together we stand, divided we fall
Together we climb to the top of the world
we can be what we what for the world to see
we are the children of yesterday's dream

We have the yearning to do what is best
Be someone special from all the rest
Nation and brothers in unity
Building tomorrow for you and for me

Repeat refrain
Repeat chorus (2 times)

All Things Bright and Beautiful Poem

     My kids' will be reciting this poem on their Culminating Activity in Hands of Children School. This beautiful poem written by Ce­cil F. Al­ex­an­der of Hymns for Lit­tle Child­ren in 1848 is a favorite poetry piece among preschoolers. It teaches young boys and girls the beauty of life and God's creations. It let's youngsters develop oneness with nature and the trait of Godliness.

All Things Bright and Beautiful

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.

The purple headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky.

The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.

The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
To gather every day.

He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.

Win or Lose

     Just want to share my sons' poem for Kindergarten Graduation in Hands of Children School.
Children, even at their tender age encounter situations when they have to accept defeat. We must teach our children that it is natural to lose. Things will not always go their way. On the other hand, when they experience triumph let as be by their side to help them learn humility.

Win or Lose (Author: Unknown)

Whether you win or lose the game,
Don't be too proud or hide in shame
Someone must lose, someone must win
For game results are all the same

When you happen to have a luck,
Befriend your foe and do not mock
With hurting words,
     please do not stab

And when defeat becomes your fate,
Hold your tongue and do not hate
Smile pleasantly and merrily wait
For your luck will come some other day.
