The Vast Land We Call Nature
By: Rocco. Reilsono

From seeds to the trees,
To the pollen smells of bees,
O’ how we all love nature

From all the types of flowers,
To the plants we devour,
O’ how we all love nature

From the ants on their logs,
To the jumping frogs,
O’ how we all love nature

From the bark on the trees,
To the low humming of fleas,
O’ how we all love nature

From rivers to the streams,
To the sun’s constant gleam,
O’ how we all love nature

From the birds that chirp,
To an animal taking a slurp,
O’ how we all love nature

Even into the night,
When the sun isn’t at its height,
O’ how we all love nature

Congratulations to Rocco on this outstanding accomplishment!
