many people go out of their way to avoid me,

in fact they change their plans when i’m close.

only few show appreciation for my importance,

they only care when they need me most.

–

i’m sorry if i’m an inconvenience to you,

or if it seems like i ruined your day.

but i’d like to share my favourite things about me.

so tuck in because i have a lot to say.

–

people love rainbows, fascinated by their beauty,

and people love coves, cool off from the sun.

some people listen to me to drift off to sleep.

sounds good? well i’ve only begun.

–

the forests you hike, i make them stay green,

and the foods you eat, i help them flourish.

from animals to plants, i help them all.

even help the flowers you stop to smell blossom.

–

you shower and drink a version of me,

i don’t want to be cocky, but i’m essential for your survival.

but i’ll continue to make the world you live in beautiful,

in hopes one day, you don’t run from my arrival.
