Read together
A lamp in the dark, shining so bright
A leaf on a tree, swaying with delight
A mango on a branch, juicy and sweet
A monkey up high, swinging with its feet
A lemon so yellow, sour and bright
A lion so strong, with a mighty bite
A mother so loving, kind and true
A mouse so tiny, cute and small too
Together they dance, in a wild and free world
Each with a place, each with a story to be told
So let us embrace, the beauty that surrounds
And cherish the love, that nature has found.
Talk about it
