Forgive us What other reason could be right For stars to shine throughout the night Then light for us a Christmas tree With gifts upon the earth to see What other reason would God give? This mother earth to let us live To grant her children that she love These gifts of plenty from above We’ve torn them open laid them bear And left the waste to foul the air. We’ve trashed the earth and all within And even broken through the skin We’ve multiplied beyond her care Bent her weary with weight and dare. Demanded more then she can give. Beyond her love to let us live And so I sorrow, shed a tear Our ignorance and cavalier |

There is a new poet among us, who will be glad to see the link to this.... "even having been part of the clean-up, I still find myself part of the mess..." Well done, Sy! |

All a butterfly can do ... is let the wind carry her across the ocean blue ... there she will wish for a healing view ... pray for the earth to start anew ... May mankind see the damage they do ... rethink, rewind, recycle, review, renew. And when the skies regain their heavenly hue ... this butterfly will then turn and head straight to you ... we'll toast Mother Earth with raspberry tea for two ... and Randy can come fly us to Shangri-La when were thru *winkiewinkie*  meI'm hanging on your every word |
