Plant a little seed in the ground,
In the soil, where it can be found.
Give it some water every day,
And make sure it gets sunlight's ray.

Watch it grow and see it rise,
Up to the blue and sunny skies.
Give it love and care and time,
And it will grow to be sublime.

As it blossoms and takes shape,
Take pride in all the work you've made.
And when you see it's thriving free,
Say, "That little plant is just like me."

So let's give our plants some love and care,
And watch them grow with beauty rare.
For when we take the time to please,
We create a world that's filled with trees.
