Beneath our feet, in layers deep, they sleep,
Hidden treasures, secrets they keep.
Minerals of earth, in colors so bright,
Shimmering in darkness, a wondrous sight.
From fiery core to mountains high,
Formed through eons as time goes by.
Quartz, feldspar, and shining gold,
Stories of creation in their forms unfold.
In caverns dark or riverâs flow,
Natureâs gems in silence grow.
Garnet red and sapphire blue,
Each a marvel, pure and true.
Minerals unite, the earth they bind,
Foundations of life, in them we find.
Through their presence, we understand,
The beauty and strength of our land.
