My kids ask a lot of questions.
They like to know how we are connected to everything.
This is about part of our relationship with trees.
(We obviously say "thank you" to the trees too!)
Leaves
at the top
dancing
in green-
emerald
and jade
shades
can be seen
Facing
the sun
they
soak up its rays
making
the most
of
bright sunny days
The
sunlight they seek
is
magic, you see-
for
without it,
no
food can be made for the tree!
The
air we breathe out
and
the rain that seeps through
mix
together with light
to
make something new-
A
sugar called glucose
which
is used by the tree
to
keep growing taller
(this
needs energy!)
And
when this is made
we get
something too-
fresh
oxygen to breathe-
as each
tree says “thank you”.
