mangrove

mangrove trees  grow in tropical waters are an ideal rest stop for manatees and home  to  many other animals a jumble of skinny roots and low hanging branches mangroves thrive in estuaries where fresh water and salt water mix. oysters and barnacles anchor themselves to the trees' dense roots helping filter water and traps nutrients in the woody stem the result is a nutrient packed nursery for young fish sharks crustaceans and shellfish mangroves also provide nesting and hunting areas for seabirds mangroves on islands in the western Pacific Ocean. from ocean animals

pome

 do you ever wonder 

when you look up at the sky 

who else is looking at the moon 

as the night goes by

perhaps somewhere in a distant land 

other children like stand 

and watch the moon high in the sky 

as the night goes by 

could the moon be watching you 

smiling as the moon can do

looking down on distant lands 

watching children holding hands 

children of the world unite 

stand together just one night 

think of others  just like you 

many children watching too  

the world becomes a smaller place 

when children  of a different race 

stand together  for a while 

perhaps to talk or laugh and smile 

watch and wonder by and by 

who is looking at the sky
