Children, listen carefully:

    There’s something you must do,

And it’s not just something you should do,     

     But I should do this too.

​

Move from that pleasant comfort zone
      Into a brand new place:
Look round for something different
     Or notice that new face.

​

Don’t dig yourself into a rut 
      And not try something new:
There could be talents you may have
     That are waiting to break through.

​

There could be people you have met 
     Who’ve never seen your smile.
There could be clothes you’d never wear
    ‘Because they’re not my style!’

​

There could be sports you’ve never tried
    Or books you’ve never read,
‘But I don’t think I’d like that sport!’
      Is that the thing you’ve said?

​

Magic comes not from a wand
     But by the things you do.
Get out of that soft ‘comfort zone’
     And try out something new.

​

The opportunities will come:
    You’ll grab them if you’re smart.
And every day's a 'magic day'
     And a darned good day to start!
