Mother Earth


Reach me your hand and I will guide you,
through all my beauty and wonderful hue,
I'll show you my weakness and maybe my harm,
and bath you into my natural charm.

Come and enjoy me up in the sky,
where God's creatures freely can fly,
see the majestically eagle or a simple insect,
they all deserves your sincerer respect.

Follow me into the mighty wilderness,
experience this world  without all the stress,
where animals hunt necessary for their survive,
here you will find the circle of life.

Let me show you the marvelous world undersea,
filled with awesome beauty and also mystery,
whales and planktons drifting on a tidal wave,
even more natural treasures, all needed to save.

Open your eyes when I show you around,
watch all the beauty that grow on the ground,
the flowers, the trees need some attention from you,
they deliver clean air that is simply the true.

Don't fill this world with your chemical trash,
don't abuse the wealth don't make it a mess,
It's your responsibility to treat the nature,
with your power of reason and love for the future.

If you love your children than you will make it worth,
to save the nature in the name of Mother Earth.

Charisma

All life is precious. Charisma, that poem said a lot. We only have this planet to live on and we need to take care of it.

By the way, the artwork you posted is beautiful!

If I only read one poem tonight - I am so glad I read one from a lady - who shares my views - on the value of this world we call our home - we individually, are here but briefly, so we must see ourselves as caretakers for our generations to come.
