Park, Et. al
birds and bees
wonderful trees
the world is diverse
just like the universe
flowers' at play
bloom rounds today
in multiple colors
like sisters' and brothers'
Fuchsia or yellow
or purple so mellow
from deep reds to pastels
springs fruit to nourish
ladies' and fellows'
vegetables' thrive
in dark soil with sunshine
with proper bacteria and insects
aeration and rains' process
water tables, some buried deep
provide fresh flow for all to drink
small farming families
local and caring 'green thumbs'
aren't notions, but truths
we can't spare
nature's cornucopia
keeps cells in good stead
so new seeds' when planted
germinate in proper climates
temperatures 'mead'
we must take care of the planet
with proper sunshine and rains
to nourish plants, trees, and our dreams
spirits must be respected, lifted, protected
Old one's dwell beyond imagination
previous civilizations have much to teach
innocence and wonder make up
that which is seen and not seen
Interactions with nature, include local
neighbor's and stranger's
to uplift with a kind word or gesture
trumps selfish measures
take a moment through the day
to appreciate the beauty around you
the breeze waving trees' leaves
or when a Meadowlark sings
or a Child's innocent laughter
or a stranger's genuine kindness
for these actions have no monetary measure
they're priceless treasures
