In the morning light, with joy we greet,
A special day, so bright and sweet.
Children's Day, a time to celebrate,
The innocence and wonder they create.

Once we were children, carefree and free,
Playing under raindrops, oh, what glee!
Splashing in puddles, laughter in the air,
With not a worry, without a single care.

Oh, how the years have swiftly passed,
Our childhood memories forever cast.
Now as adults, we stand here today,
Wishing a new generation a joyful play.

On this Children's Day, let's reminisce,
Of simpler times, pure bliss to miss.
Let's remember the dreams we used to hold,
And the stories we eagerly told.

For every child, let's build a world,
Where love and kindness are unfurled.
Where imagination runs wild and free,
Creating a future they long to see.

May their days be filled with laughter and cheer,
Guided by love, their hearts held dear.
May they dance through life, unburdened by strife,
Embracing each moment, discovering life.

So here's to the children, the ones who inspire,
With dreams that burn bright like a star-filled fire.
Happy Children's Day, to one and all,
Let's cherish their innocence, big and small.
