Nature’s strength is far surpassed to what man might expect We’re dwellers on this land called earth, for which we’ve no respect And in the end we’ll suffer for the tragedy called greed Wanting more, expecting more than what we’ll ever need The sunny days with clear blue skies are few and far between Which soon will be just memories that our forefathers had seen? Our future doesn’t look so good for we who dare to see For far too long, for too much time the devils hand was free We look upon the tragedies that in the world occur But after just a small short time its cause becomes a blur We live on average 50 years and what a mess we make To pass away when time has passed so blame to never take I as others question, yet we’re still the silent one Who watch and then express our thoughts, though little more is done We seem to just except what is as normal and Gods way But more our Globe is warming with the coming of each day The modern age with all its good does come with so much bad And in the future coming years the memories will be sad Unless we all speak up with voice, toward a cause be bound Today’s the day to start a way of turning things around For unless we do, the future will be a sentence. Already it may be too late. |

Hi, Rick! We should all think green! Save our planet ~ save ourselves! Man just keeps on taking and taking and gives very little back! Gaia is not very happy! "We live on average 50 years and what a mess we make" ~ "50"?!? Oh, no! Say it isn't so! lol Loves 'n hugs, Linda |

Dear Linda, 50 is my average, with so many poeple dying young now, it could be 60, in the new age we are living longer, a lot of my friends are gone and well before their time, we might live to 100 and bring the average up a little more my friend. The line of right and wrong can be crossed so easily, all we can do is our best. Thank you for your reply, always appreciated and enjoyed Linda, have a great day, today here it is father's day, I have opened my cards and presents and will have a nice day with family. Michael, thank you for your reply, I hope it is a message that many hear, it may also be a little too late, forgiveness and repair can take a long time, sometimes too long. Be well my friend and have a great day. Sincerely Rick |
