Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look today,
At a tricky word that can brighten your way.
“Influences,” you see, it's quite a phrase,
Let's break it down in a thoughtful haze!
The dictionary gives us a good start,
Of power and control – playing a vital part.
It says it
affects
,
controls
with grace,
And changes things at a steady pace.
Think of a painter, choosing hues so bright,
Their style is influenced by artists in sight!
Or maybe music, a rhythm's sweet plea,
Influenced by melodies, wild and free.
It’s about how something
shapes
what we do,
The thoughts and decisions, shiny and new.
Like a gentle breeze, or a powerful storm,
Influences guide us, keeping us warm!
It’s not always forceful, demanding command,
Sometimes it's subtle, across the land.
It can be a feeling, a story told with care,
Shaping our actions and how we share.
So "influences" means to shape and to mold,
Stories and feelings, brave and bold!
