UNIT ONE-1.1 It’s a small world- POEM

It’s a world of laughter,

A world of tears.

It’s a world of hopes,

And a world of fears.

There’s so much that we share

That it’s time we’re aware

It’s a small world after all ...

It’s a small world after all

It’s a small world after all

It’s a small world after all

It’s a small, small world.

There is just one moon

And one golden sun

And a smile means

Friendship to every one.

Though the mountains divide

And the oceans are wide

It’s a small world after all ...

It’s a small world after all

It’s a small world after all

It’s a small world after all

It’s a small, small world.
