What I Know to be True
By Nathan Haley
We take a look a life
And it seems to be simple
Yet one thing we don’t mention
Are the complex cycles
That life goes through
For example,
We know that we need oxygen to live
But not everyone knows how the lungs utilize the oxygen
By taking the carbon dioxide out of the blood
And replacing it with oxygen
Then taking the carbon dioxide
Releasing it through breathing out
The process is like the body naturally purifying itself
We also know that plants need water to grow
And they usually source it from rain
But do you know what the plants do with the water?
The plants utilize the water to get nutrients from the soil
And using it to grow the stems and leaves
Taking something that many take for granted
And turning it into something beautiful
Although these may seem complicated
The thing that I know most to be true
Is that we don’t need to know everything that goes on
To appreciate the result
