Environment
When you want to grow a plant
You could get a pot
Fill it with soil
Plant a seed or a sapling
You must water it regularly
Ensure sufficient sunlight exposure
Keep it safe from animals
Tend to it carefully
If you do everything well
The seed or sapling may grow
You will then have your plant
Flowers, fruits or vegetables
It is a pleasure to create something
You nurture the plant
The way that your parents nurture you
Everybody wins
You could get a pot
Fill it with soil
Plant a seed or a sapling
You must water it regularly
Ensure sufficient sunlight exposure
Keep it safe from animals
Tend to it carefully
If you do everything well
The seed or sapling may grow
You will then have your plant
Flowers, fruits or vegetables
It is a pleasure to create something
You nurture the plant
The way that your parents nurture you
Everybody wins
