Through the fields and over the hill,
My trusty mate and I did thrill.
We walked upon the soil so fine,
And breathed the air that was so divine.

It's important that we always know,
How to care for this land that we call home.
A little tube of seed we'll sow,
And watch it grow, and grow, and grow!

We'll protect the plants, the trees, and all,
For they are vital, both big and small.
They keep our air so clean and pure,
And make this world a place secure.

Our muscles may ache, but we won't tire,
For we know this task is so very dire.
We'll care for them, our earth and all,
And watch them flourish, stand tall and tall!
