My Secret Is Made From...
My secret is made from deep of my heart. I found it in the beautiful sky with some lovely flowers and animals. My secret can surprise everyone, but not me. If I lost this secret, then I will die a million times with tears all over my face.

Jam.
Some advice: it's on to us. Many think it's delicious but no; I say no. It's here to poison us, it's here to ruin peanut butter! It's taking away what was once a good sandwich. Let peanut butter stand alone!
Don't trust jam.

Inspired by Mary Oliver's nature poetry. Dear Trees,
