Just like the earth, Just like people, and just like me. Sand, light and garbage are just a few for them and for us. My Butterfly Each summer    When I was a child, My cousins and I had our nets Each summer    We would fly with them    in the sky    Gazing as the monarchs flew by. Once again, it  s almost summer and I ask myself . So, now where do I fly to find my butterfly?  Timber Timber the tree heard, And thought,   what now? why now    it  s not my time!   Timber, a neighbour also heard and He too thought no, it  s not time Then just like that a grinding woke the skies And within the noise, trees fell faster than a shooting star  93 Then the falling stopped We knew then it was time for new trees to recreate the beauty of the forest And for us to listen to the silence and smile Together we did something good
