O2
O X Y G E N
By Josie Whitehead
What’s in the air that we can’t feel
And cannot even see?
Yet, even though you'll hear no sound,
It’s there for you and me.
​
Without it fires would soon go out
And living things would die.
It lives in both the sea and earth,
And up there in the sky.
​
It’s vital for the health of all;
Without it we’d be dead.
Our hearts are pumping it around
And through our veins it’s fed.
​
The subject, yes, is oxygen -
And for all of us, it's free.
All living things depend on it,
Including plants and trees.
​
Our bodies are filled to the brim
With this essential fuel.
You use it when you play at home
And whilst you learn at school.
​
It’s lucky that upon this earth
We have a good supply
And, whilst you think about these facts,
I’ll wish you all goodbye.
