The Number Of Children In The World

When I was a girl my father played a special game with me. It was so much fun that I remember it up to the present day. I remember how warm and funny he was. My experience makes me think about how important it is for parents to take time to play with their children.

Count the stars and see how many
Children there are in the world
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, seven
8, 9,10, eleven, twelve!

To make sure you can see the stars
Stand up nice and tall
For there are many children in the world
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, seven
8, 9,10, eleven, twelve!

I hop on my daddy's back
And to my surprise he does a bow
I hold on tight and then I see
The most amazing site
I'm nearer to the abundant stars
And feel the closeness with my heart
Daddy, I can see all the children in the world
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, seven
8, 9,10, eleven, twelve!
