The World, Generally
Philosophy, a world not furnished
Science, for eternal letters
Law, for righting wrongs with rules
Medicine, for making us better
Stars, for staying up at night
Seas, for letting it slide
Sun, for seeing daylight
Moon, for moving tides
Brothers, for secret business
Moms, for milk and honey
Sisters, for rough seas
Dads, for guidance and money
Poems, for the pouring rain
Homes, for a place to be
Beds, for making breakfast in
Love, for all the world to see
Science, for eternal letters
Law, for righting wrongs with rules
Medicine, for making us better
Stars, for staying up at night
Seas, for letting it slide
Sun, for seeing daylight
Moon, for moving tides
Brothers, for secret business
Moms, for milk and honey
Sisters, for rough seas
Dads, for guidance and money
Poems, for the pouring rain
Homes, for a place to be
Beds, for making breakfast in
Love, for all the world to see
