When I go outside

I see many things

Plants and animals

Pretty birds that sing

There's rocks to view

Each with a history

Pebbles and stones

On how they came to be

There are trees too

Some grow so high

Flowers much lower

To see them you say , oh my

The grass grows thick

It grows very good

Crawling with insects

Searching for food

The random sticks

Fallen from the trees

Some are useful

For shelter if you need

Plants are helpful

Very medicinal

To cure a sickness

And make you feel well

Other plants beware

They'll make you twitch

Ones like poison ivy

They'll make you itch

All of these things

Mother nature made

We must protect them

And not let them fade
