In a world of wonder and delight,
There are so many things that catch our sight,
From steel and stone to silver so bright,
To plastic and wicker that are quite a sight.

But let's not forget the watery blue,
That surrounds us all, it's oh so true,
It's where the fish and turtles play,
And where the dolphins leap and sway.

And don't forget about the trees,
That give us paper for our needs,
From books to coloring pages galore,
It's where our imaginations soar.

So let's explore and use our senses,
And find joy in all of life's experiences,
From the solid to the ephemeral,
There's beauty in everything, so very special.
