The King and the Ocean
By Fred Rogers


"I have a notion
to move to the ocean!"
Declared a king in his tower
After thinking for an hour.
He traveled for days around his land
But he couldn't find an ocean at hand.
Finally, the king returned to his tower.
He thought and thought for another hour.
Then he said so loud and clear
So all could hear,
"You know I'm fond of my pond.
I think I'll stay right here!"

Love is People

By Fred Rogers

Love is people
Love is people needing people
Love is people caring for people
That is love

Love's a little child sharing with another
Love's a brave man daring to liberate his brother

Love is people
Love is people needing people
Love is people caring for people
That is love

And though some have costly treasure
It never seems to measure
Up to people needing people
Caring for people
For that's love
Love is people
People love
