The bits of nature that are clinging to
 earth
 No flower would bloom, no singing vine!
 Were there no sun to erase the clouds
 To light the earth and heaven above, The dew that would finger on the bits
 of grass
 Would darken it's verdue,g the things
 we love.
 Were joys forever. and pleasure alway,
 And life overfowing with fun every 1 day
 The grandeur of life would never be | known

 great;
 A mission on earth, whether human or plant:
 1 And the tide that comes to us, whether | early or late
 Is only the message borne to us per- | haps of fate. |
