Come here child.
Sit between my knees.
I'll show you the world.
Living under these trees.

Now, over there,
Is a prickly thorn.
And a single ladybug,
Looking so forlorn.

Right next to you.
Sit very still.
An iridescent dragonfly.
Oh, what a thrill.

That clump of posies.
Do you see?
Bright butterflies
And fat bumblebees.

A grasshopper now
Has jumped on your head.
I think he's decided
To make it his bed.

A wonderful place
Can be seen everyday.
When you sit very still
And watch the insects at play.
