Life of a Plant

小小種子，無限生機

by Risa Jordaw

A plant will grow from a tiny seed, Some water and sun is all you need.

First the roots grown underground, They1)suck up2)mineralsfrom all around.

Then come3)stems, some tall, some4)stout, And next the branches5)spread about.

Leaves grow in all shapes and sizes, Watch this new life as it rises.

Flowers6)bloomfrom7)budson stems, They are as pretty as precious gems.

Some plants give us juicy fruit, Some have vegetables at the root.

New seeds travel to and fro, By wind and water, on the go.

And the cycle keeps on going, Soon new stems and leaves are showing.
