Let there be peace
Among us and our trees.
Recycle your paper and trash,
To spare them, please.

Beauty of the Rain Forest
Bedtime. I count
Every second that goes by. I think
Anything could happen. I fall asleep.
Under my covers I dream about
You and me jumping and playing.
Out of the water I splash.
Fishes tickle my feet.
Trees swaying in the wind I
Hear a strange sound.
Everything goes dark.
Rain starts falling.
A huge tree falls in the water.
I hear chopping.
Nearer it comes.
Fear falls
Over me.
Rescue us say the trees. I close my
Eyes. Suddenly the sun comes out. All the
Trees are gone. Stop I cry. I
Sit up crying, thinking of how many trees are being killed every second.
