**Tall** like a tree

**Short** like grass

**Up** in the sky is a cloud

**Down** in the soil is an earthworm

**Light** like a petal

**Heavy** like a rock

**Over** the leaf is a caterpillar

**Under** the leaf is a dragonfly

**Quick** as a squirrel

**Slow** as a snail

Birds **before** sunrise

Bats **after** sunset

**Above** the tree is the moon

**Below** the tree is you!
