Environment Poem

From a Childs Heart to Yours

Turtles, Beetles
Manatees
Trees

Insects, seas
Snails
Quails

Dancing raindrops
Soil absorbing
Man and beast
All depending

Air pollution
Ailing children
Dying trees
Who really sees?

Crowds of children
Round a table
What are they doing?
One child is rising.

Stop! She says

This ongoing madness
Look around you
Relieve the sadness!

On the air we must depend

The trees
The rivers
They are our friends.

If they go
We go too
Life is intertwined
Let’s refresh our minds
The environment
Is part of us
Respect is a must
Let’s do our best.

You and me
He and she
Let’s aim to be
An environmentally friendly family.
