Excellence Award in the 'Step Write Up 2011' competition

What a beautiful thing,
The earth really is,
Shining like a wedding ring,
As captivating as show biz.
It is made up of green,
Green trees that touch the sky,
But we have been quite mean,
Chopping them down, oh my!
Trees are our life,
Plants make up the earth,
Without them we can’t survive,
We couldn't sing, horse ride or surf.
So chopping them down isn’t right,
What did they do to you?
A wonderful thing, a beautiful sight,
It is the wrong thing to do.
So stop killing trees,
Stop trashing plants,
Stop and you will see,
Don't leave it to chance.
