In orchards bathed in golden light,
Where navel oranges shine so bright,
They hang like lanterns in the trees,
Nature's sweet, sun-kissed mysteries.

With navels snug, a secret kept,
Beneath their peels where zest is crept,
A burst of citrus, juicy, fine,
In each round treasure, nature's sign.

Their fragrance dances on the breeze,
As plump and sweet as you could please,
A taste that's pure, a tangy glee,
In navel oranges, zest set free.

So, peel them gently, savor slow,
Let nectar's symphony brightly flow,
In every bite, a sunlit day,
With navel oranges, joy's bouquet.

From orchard's heart to kitchen's grace,
In marmalade or fresh embrace,
These fruits of nature, love's delights,
In navel oranges, life ignites.

So cherish them with every peel,
Their flavor true, their zest ideal,
In orchards' care and sunny glows,
The navel oranges sweetly shows.
