I wonder why the grass is green,and why the wind is never seen.
who taught the birds to build a nest,
and told the trees to take a rest?
oh, and when the moon is not quite round,
where can the missing bit be found?
who lights the stars when they blow out,
and makes the lightning flash about?
who points the rainbow in the sky,
and hangs the fluffy clouds so high?
why is it now, do you suppose,
that dad won't tell me, if he knows?
This lovely poem by Jeannie Kirby reminds me childlike innocence and the natural curiosity a child has about the things he sees around him. In this poem, nature is seen through the eyes of a child who imagines trees taking a rest. He also believes that someone splashes lovely colours on the rainbow and hangs it up on fluffy clouds in the sky. When we were young, we probably thought about many things too. But, as we grow older, we began to take these things for granted. This is because most of us full of daily activity which make us forget to think about nature importance. This situation also happened to me, i never really care whatever happen around me,especially nature disaster, but then, after i read this poem, realize a lot things has changed from i was kid until i growing up as adult teenager. Now, have to start again to think and be responsible to nature environment which is give me a lot of great imagination.
