Definition: Short in length of time from the present.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look and see,
At this word “soon,” it’s quite simple, you agree!
The dictionary gives us a clue, nice and bright,
“Short in length of time from the present” – that's right!
Think about it like this, little ones so keen,
"Soon" means not
later
, but happening unseen,
Just around the corner, a blink and you’ll be there,
A quick little moment, light as air!
Like “I’ll see you soon,” that doesn't mean much delay,
It just tells you it's coming – in a very short way.
So "soon" is about speed, a swift little flight,
Not waiting patiently, for a long, dark night!
Does that make sense to you? Any questions arise? Let me know if you need another rhyme or explanation!
