For Kids Only

Kids play along the jungle gym
They race, they climb and play
They try their skills without a thought
Of what the others say

Each climbs and slides at his own pace
Sharing fun and laughs together
Not wanting this time to ever end
Uh oh! Here comes mother

She says okay it's time to go
Oh no! they always cry
Just 5 more minutes pretty please
And look as if they died

Ma Ma say yes and off they go
Their face lights up again
They race and climb and play some more
Knowing soon that it will end

What is the magic of this place
A colorful jungle gym
It's hard to say or understand
As it belongs to only kids.
