Verse from the book A World of Wonders: Geographic Travels in Verse and Rhyme (amazon affiliate link):
Walk Lightly
Make the Earth your companion.
Walk lightly on it, as other creatures do.
Let the Sky paint her beauty – she is always watching over you.
Learn from the Sea how to face harsh forces.
Let the River remind you that everything will pass.
Let the Lake instruct you in stillness.
Let the Mountain teach your grandeur.
Make the Woodland your house of peace.
Make the Rainforest your house of hope.
Meet the Wetland on the twilight ground.
Save some small piece of Grassland for a red kite on a windy day.
Watch the Icecaps glisten with crystal majesty.
Hear the Desert whisper hush to eternity.
Let the Town bring you togetherness.
Make the Earth your companion.
Walk lightly on it, as other creatures do.
This is a beautiful book for kids … and I LOVE it too. Titled, “A World of Wonders: Geographic Travels in Verse and Rhyme” it has eye pleasing illustrations. You not only get to read a great verse or rhyme, you have the added feature of gorgeous illustrations.
Perfect read before bedtime. You could read the entire book in one sitting. I chose to split it into two nights since I get to read to two kids before bed. I was touched and inspired with good feelings when reading this one … and so were Thomas and Lillian.
