They say the world is vast and wide,
Filled with creatures, big and small inside.
Some have feathers, and some can hop,
While others crawl and never stop.

A frog jumps by the river's edge,
Hiding in the water's sedge.
A spider weaves a silky thread,
Spinning webs above your head.

Butterflies flutter with grace and poise,
Flitting about, making no noise.
Tadpoles swim in the shallow pond,
Growing into frogs, large and blonde.

The shark lurks in the deep blue sea,
Swimming with power and agility.
Each animal has its special way,
Living their life, every single day.

So let's explore and discover more,
The wonders of nature we can't ignore.
From the tiniest bug to the biggest whale,
Let's cherish them all, without fail.
