In the springtime, when the world awakes
Seeds are planted, earth begins to quake
Tiny sprouts push up through the dirt
Growing tall and strong, never getting hurt

A seed, so small and round and brown
Holds the power to grow a plant from the ground
With sun and rain and soil just right
A new green friend will grow with all its might

In the fall, when the leaves turn gold
Our plant friends start to look a little old
Their leaves change color, then they fall
But don't worry, they'll be back in no time at all

And just like plants, creatures grow too
Hatching from eggs, all shiny and new
Birds and insects and all kinds of critters
Grow up strong with the help of their caregivers

So when you see a sprout or plant or seed
Remember the wonder of nature's deed
And know that everything in life can grow
Just give it time, and watch it glow!
