Innocence – Terza Rima

My only advice is teach the child nature To see the face of God in a flower And look with love on every creature To love trees their canopy a tall tower And that every season has a reason Then teach nature’s awesome power And admire the poppy a delicate crimson To see the whole world through tiny seeds That form buds early in Spring’s season And to know the plants from the weeds Hear a Nightingale sing in the wood To marvel at the variety of animal breeds Feel the rain in your face under your hood And not to get angry in the wind and wet Then you will know nature as you should Teach the child nature and it will be an asset To keep that innocence and you’ll not regret
