Mammals, butterflies, birds, and bees
My native plants feed more than these!
They play and hide among them all
Grasses, forbs, both large and small
Seasons change, blooms turn to seeds
Even then, plants serve their needs
And when they are all but bare
They still have beauty left to spare
Through cold winters, they decorate
And remind us while we wait
For the warm weather to return
Of fresh new sprouts for us to learn
Who knew plants from Illinois
Could provide such year-round joy?
