You couldn't live a day, if it weren't for the plants.
They store up solar energy and life on earth advance -
The act of photosynthesis resides in our plants.
We eat the things that grow or that on things that grow survive,
We clothe ourselves and heat our homes on what from plants derives,
And fossil fuels - made from plants - we use to ride or drive,
Indeed, without our many plants, we'd never be alive!
And even our breathing is plant-dependent, too:
They send to our atmosphere the "O" from CO2,
So next time when you contemplate a bush or mighty tree,
Consider they make possible the likes of you and me...
