Have you ever noticed that magic is all around?
From right above the sky to the bottom of the ground.
You don’t need a magician, just open your eyes and see
The magic right in front of you to fill you up with glee.
Nature’s full of magic, just hear the lightning crash!
The rainbows that appear and the raindrops that go splash.
Blowing on a dandelion - don’t forget to wish
You might even get to see a rainbow fish!
You can also find magic in the pages of a book,
You just need to open one and take a look!
From Aladdin’s lamp and Harry’s wand there’s magic to explore,
So, get yourself a storybook and try to look for more!
But the best kind of magic is what we feel inside,
Just think about the moments that fill you up with pride.
Or the time we spend with family which fills your heart with love,
Now that’s the kind of magic that comes from above.
