EARTH

It’s aesthetic wonders,
grandeur for our sight;
the oceans, the rivers,
green valleys and heights,
the golden prairies,
mountain streams cascading,
the deep, lush rainforest,
green fields with deer grazing,
the marshlands, the bayou,
the deserts, the bogs,
lakes, ponds and cool springs,
sun, rain and fog,
Ice crystals, rocks, minerals
dancing flakes of snow,
clouds or night’s sparkle,
all part of Earth’s show;
day creatures, night creatures,
the birds of the air…
For us much is given
in our home to share
with each other
with respect and with care.
Where would we be
if it all wasn’t there?
