Nature’s standing on our sidelines
Whatever we build, nature will penetrate any cracks,
It’s just standing on our sidelines, until we turn our backs.
We may cover the earth, create a world for our own kind,
But in amongst it all, at some point a plant we shall find.
Nature just needs a sheltered space, with sun and water too,
From there it will come along, and a new plant will breakthrough.
We may choose to call these weeds, and try to clear them away,
But nature will just try again, upon another day.
Within the smallest of cracks, a seed will one day settle,
Restoring a plant there, whether a rose or a nettle.
Natures choices may not be ours, but this world we all share,
Perhaps where we can, we should just welcome them into there.
