 Shine On

In summertime the sunlight be

A welcome when days are longest,

Bringing the vital energy

To the leaves when rays are strongest.

It is this time in each year that

The tree most needs help from the sun

To shine upon its habitat

So food production can be done.

The sunlight lets the leaves produce

All the food that the tree will need,

And be available for use

When there's no sun or leaves indeed.

Called photosynthesis and is

How the tree does mind its own biz.
