Mother nature’s done her duty
Way above and beyond,
She’s brought the land to life again
She’s waved her magic wand.
She’s woken all the flowers up,
Sprinkled rain drops on their heads,
Now she’s sent the sunshine out
To raise them from their beds.
She dresses all the trees in green,
She gives the grass its dew,
But she’s not finished quite just yet
She’s still got much to do.
Now that winter’s over,
She must clear away the snow,
And she has to tell the North wind
“You’re not allowed to blow!”
Now let me tell you a story
Which my mother told to me,
It’s all about the world
And how things came to be,
Well, you know that it was God
Who said, "Let there be light”?
But did you know that Mother Nature
Was the one who made the night?
She put the moon up in the sky
Where the sun could make it glow,
Then she used its magnetism
To make the rivers flow.
The stars up in the heavens,
She painted them so bold,
They’ve inspired every poet
And every story ever told.
You see, God in his wisdom,
Gave the world a woman’s touch,
And he knew no one but a mother
Would love this world so much.

The imagery in this is wonderful. I love the story too. Just one thing, I think in this line you meant USED:"Then she use its magnetism". This was very nice and a pleasure to read. Thanks for entering.

Thank you for this beautiful poem that you have entered in our children's contest, although we both feel it may have been more appropriate in a contest about nature.

This is very well written and every stanza, except for one, flows perfectly. THis one Well, you know that it was God
Who said, "Let there be light”?
But did you know that Mother Nature
Was the one who made the night?
i feel doesn't flow quite as well as the others. Other than that this is a beautiful, well written poem that invokes strong imagery. The flow keeps the reader happily moving from stanza to stanza...good job

Wonderful and really quite flawless... perfect meter and rhyme and an excellent sense of poetry which is really impossible to teach. (note: a typo in the line with the word magnetism in it.) bravo... bravo... bravo...

That is so sweet. I love the the last stanza the most.
You see, God in his wisdom,
