I am the Child
Hi I am the child
I try with all my heart
to clean up this earth
I want to stop the pollution
When I get older I want to
plant more trees and plants
Please help me clean up
Please try very hard
And
If you try very hard
this world will be the best it could ever be!

I am the Clouds
I am the clouds you gaze into
When it is a beautiful day
I make you a fluffy pillow
When you are crying so so bad
I make the sky look beautiful
I make the colors that amaze you
When the sun is going down
I am the clouds you look at
And make objects out of
I am the clouds

Come and swim in my water
Come and live on my beaches
Whatever you do,
do not throw trash in me
because the
crabs will have
nowhere to live

I am the
Drinking Water
I’m the drinking water
You can find me in a fountain
If I’m dirty you wouldn’t want to drink me
You can see right through my crystal clear body
I’m the drinking water

I am a Flower
I am a flower
I make you feel better,
When you are ill,
I feed the bees with my pollen,
I make you feel better,
When you are blue,
And sometimes I make friendship,
When you need friends.

I am the Garbage
I am the garbage
I am the garbage you throw on the ground
I am the garbage who pollutes the earth
I am the garbage that kills the animals
I am the garbage you put in the dumpster
I am the garbage that smells real bad
I am the garbage that feels icky
and sticky
How would you like to be garbage?

I am big and brown
I love to eat fish from the streams

When it’s winter I take a long snooze
I am the grizzly bear

I am the Penguin
I am the penguin
I waddle far
And when I
Get tired
I lay on my
Stomach
And Sliiiiiiiiiide
Down the hill
Then I Swim, Swim, Swim
To
The bottom of the ocean
And ROCKET UP
Out of the water!
And land on an iceberg
Feet first
and
I am the penguin

I am the Pollution
I am the pollution
That blankets the earth
I seep on the soil you sow
I float in the air you breathe
I swim through your oceans
It doesn’t feel right, the way I exist
For some reason, I feel like a nuisance
A pest,
A problem,
totally unwelcome
I am the pollution

I am the Pond
I am the pond.
See you wonderful reflection through my sparkling water
See my beautiful fish jumping in and out of me
See how your feet go SPLASH, SPLASH!
See how the young children have a picnic by me
See how the hot green frogs jump lillipad to lillipad
Feel the damp moss beneath your feet
I am the pond

I am the Rain
I am the rain pouring down like
Mother Earth crying.
I am the rain pouring
down to water the flowers in the Spring.
I am the rain pouring down like somebody crying.

I am the Rain Forest
See the monkeys swing from my vines
And the rare birds make nests in my trees
Please stop cutting me down
And polluting me
The animals are getting sick
Please love me

I am the Stream
I am the stream
With the water
Running down me
You can see reflections in me
I am shiny, there are not any waves in me
you see through me
try to keep me clean
Don’t put stuff in me like garbage
There’s a garbage can for you to put garbage in
I want to be shiny and sparkling clean
I’m wet
I’m liquid
My water is all over the place
Take care of me, keep me clean
I don’t want to be dirty
I want to run free
And I am the stream

I am the Sun
I am the sun
I am the sun
that makes you
burning hot with my rays
I shine on you all day with light
in the summer
I sometimes make your eyes hurt too
I let you play in the day
I am the sun that lets you play in the summer
I am the sun, I help things grow
like flowers, trees, bushes, and other kinds of stuff!
I am the sun

I am the Trees
I am the trees
I give you air so you can breathe
I give you shade
If you chop all of me down you will not be able to breathe
I provide you with medicine
I provide homes for animals
I provide food for you
I provide the paper you’re holding
I am the trees.

I am the Wind
I am the wind
I am the wind with birds flying in it

I am the wind and that’s that
