More Than 3 - But Less Than 5
Our Solar System's planets spin like ours-
but few are 'rocky' ones that share our stars,
like Venus, Mercury, our Earth, and Mars.
For life to grow and thrive on our Earth here,
we need key elements upon its sphere:
earth, water, air, and fire- must persevere.
Each month, our Moon, with us, plays hide and seek
with phases that are spaced and quite unique:
Full Moon, Last Quarter, New, First Quarter streak.
Within twelve months, each quarter they appear-
we call them Seasons, and they grant us cheer;
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter- fill our year.
On this huge Earth, we need help traveling-
to Cardinal directions we need cling,
for North, South, East, and West's unraveling.
For peace- books of the Bible steer our course
in times of happiness and in remorse;
Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John- faiths reinforce.
