Humpty Dumpty and all the King's Men
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men, Couldn't put Humpty together again. Poor little Humpty lay broken and sad, The fall from the wall was ever so bad. His shell was all cracked, his spirit felt low, He didn't know which way to go. But then came the children from all around town, They saw poor Humpty just lying there down. "We want to help you!" they said with a cheer, "Don't worry, Humpty, your friends are all here!" The children brought glue and bright colored tape, They worked very hard to restore Humpty's shape. With patience and care, they mended each crack, And slowly but surely brought Humpty right back. But something was different, something was new, Humpty now sparkled in every bright hue. The patches of color lit up like a star, Each crack now showed love straight from the heart. Humpty looked down at his colorful shell, And smiled with joy - he was feeling quite well! "I'm different now, but that's perfectly fine, These beautiful patches help me to shine!" From that day on, the whole town could see, How beautiful broken things can be. When someone falls or feels all alone, They think of how much Humpty has grown. Now Humpty sits proudly, his colors shine bright, A beautiful reminder that everything's right. When we help one another through troubles we face, The world becomes a more colorful place.
