AN ODE TO PLANTS

Today, I am sharing with you a poem I just wrote when I was thinking about nature. I was inspire to write this while reading a book about plants. I hope you enjoy reading it and SAVE the PLANTS.

From the dawn of history you ministered to our needs;
Thou ancient of days, present in the beginning of life;
For your love, you furnish us with food,
Clothing and shelter we lack not.
In you we have life, for the air we breath is enriched by your oxygen.

For without you, we perish.
Oh how, you purify the air we breath!
Our waste, carbon dioxide, is your delicacy. 
Mills are powered by thee, 
Your raw materials are made into products.
Wages are earned because of you.

For your love, Columbus set off in search of thee;
Your spices are worth more than you think.
What would Henry Hudson have done without you?
From the Hudson River Basin to Eastern Canada, he marveled at your beauty.
Wars have been fought because of you,
For you are priceless and worth keeping.


You furnish the settings and beautify the surroundings;
Your fragrance perfuse our minds with wonder.
Literature, music and art are inspired by thee.
Thou ancient of days, present in the beginning of life;
We adore thee!
