The following poem was written by Cathy Devine, from Windsor, Ontario. Cathy is an LBS (Literacy and Basic Skills) learner at the Windsor Public Library.
Oh mother nature
I like the sun shining
on your flowers it makes colours
beautiful to come out to see the world so
beautiful tree with blossoming flowers and it is blooming
flower top to bottom the bird to sing a happy song
