It's OK

Listen to Kev's poem ... read by JH
It’s OK to feel happy
It’s OK to feel sad
It’s OK to feel calm
It’s OK to feel mad
It’s OK to feel nervous
It’s OK to feel proud
It’s OK to feel quiet
It’s OK to feel loud
It’s OK to feel puzzled
It’s OK to feel fear
Whatever you’re feeling
It’s OK, I’m here
