Come children, gather 'round and hear
A poem about the things we hold dear
Transport, record, compete and create
Words that remind us it's never too late

Prune those plants with tender care
So they can grow tall and strong and fair
And when autumn comes with pumpkin delight
We'll have a harvest that's out of sight

Compost, compost, don't throw away
That leftover food, let it decay
It will protect our Earth and make it well
Returning nutrients to the soil, can't you tell?

Hobby time is also important, you know
It helps us unwind and let our creativity flow
Whether it's painting or dancing or writing a tale
It's a time for us to thrive and not to fail

And when it comes to pollinate and produce
We have to be careful and not let loose
For the bees and butterflies are so important
To keep our world green and full of enjoyment

So let's always remember, young and old
To take care of the Earth, to be brave and bold
For it's the only one we've got, that's true
And we need to preserve it for me and you.
