On the observation deck so high,
We can see the world passing by.
A canal flowing below our feet,
Boats and barges, such a treat.

A great feat of engineering,
Connecting cities and appearing,
Through the locks, the water flows,
To power homes and businesses in rows.

The hydroelectric plant nearby,
Generating electricity day and night.
The engine whirring, turbines spinning,
Providing power without any sinning.

The skyscraper towering above,
Its shiny windows reflecting love.
Soaring high into the sky,
A symbol of strength and why.

Observing the world from up so high,
We can see how much we can try,
To build and innovate, create and dream,
To make our world better, a bright new scheme.

Reflections

1. What is an observation deck, and what can you see from it?
2. Can you name some feats of engineering mentioned in the story?
3. What is a hydroelectric plant, and how does it generate electricity?
4. Have you ever seen a canal, and do you know how it works?
5. What is a skyscraper, and why is it an important part of a city's skyline?
