Tiny Travellers

Seeds are tiny,
Seeds are small,
Seeds are quite remarkable.

Seeds need light and space to grow,
Seeds know how to up and go!
Off to find wide open spaces
Seeds are really going places!

Tiny travellers,
New horizons,
How they move is quite surprising.

Some seeds float,
Some seeds glide,
Some have hooks to hitch a ride,
Some have helicopter wings,
Some seeds POP,
And some seeds PING!

Dandelion seeds are cute,
Each a mini-parachute,
Blow upon their fluffy seeds,
Watch them drift upon the breeze!

Seeds are tiny,
Miniscule,
But I think seeds are really cool.
