It’s important to use your voice when you are lonely or sad
It can help others know so no one gets mad.
When you are angry or sad your voice is good
It means others can help you be understood.
It’s important to use your voice when you need to say no
Because sometimes something is bad, and you just want to go.
Sometimes someone can be mean, and they yell and they hit
You then need to say “Stop! I don’t like it.”
You can use your voice to be happy and kind
And sometimes it’s a new friend that you find.
It’s important to use your voice to be nice
It can help shy friends who are quiet like mice.
Your voice can be loud or quiet, serious or funny
Or even happy or mean or as sweet as honey.
Using your voice helps you come out of your shell
So when using your voice, be sure to use it well.
