Lily

My name is Lily
And I bring good news…
Playing outside-
Is really good for you.

Outside is where you master skills
Like how to run, leap and jump!
You will burn more calories…
And be less of a frump.

You can invent your own games-
Beyond those on your TV and phone…
You’ll have real relationships-
And strengthen your bones!

Nature has amazing sights and sounds-
Creatures and critters too!
The smell is better than your room-
And each day brings something new.

You will have memories that last forever-
Which is something you won’t get from the computer or TV.
Someday you will have less time…
So I hope you will listen to me.

Graphics may be life like-
But the outdoors’ bring something real…
So take a break and join me-
It will improve how you feel.
