28-I LOVE EVERY TREE. I LOVE EVERY FLOWER

I LOVE EVERY TREE. I LOVE EVERY FLOWER. On the flight home, Benjamin snuggled next to me. He was filled with questions about the Amazon forest. He asked me about the animals who lived there. He asked me about the plants. I told him that many of the plants and animals in the forest are ENDANGERED. Pollution was slowly killing them off. We were losing some of the earth's most amazing treasures. Benjamin shook his head sadly. "That is awful, Uncle," he said. He pulled out his notebook. Then he wrote this poem about nature.

I LOVE EVERY TREE. I LOVE EVERY FLOWER. I love every tree. I love every flower. I love everything in nature, every minute, every hour. Clear and crystal waters, stars that shine way high above, rich green forests filled with creatures, that is what I love!
