The Great Big Ball By Peter Livingstone The ground beneath lies silent and still We dig in it holes, only again to fill It takes upon many different looks Nature's wonders fill tourist books As we walk around our chosen land We walk on rocks and soil and sand You cannot help but feel quite small When you think of the ground as a great big ball It is all we have upon to live To the next generation all we have to give So lets take care of this precious ground Let the trees grow tall and creatures abound We can find a way to meet the needs Of modern life and corporate greeds Only if we act together Can we change the course of things forever Not with violence, not with preaching Just simple actions and simple teaching One little action by us all And we can protect the great big ball. |

Peter~ Welcome to Passions !  Yes ... we must take heed of the resources of Earth Mother~ She takes care of us ... better than we do of her. Enjoy your stay with us ... we are a wonderful circle of poetic friends. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Salutations and good tidings, Peter. Wonderful message in your poem and realistic, one person at a time. Look forward to more works from you. -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |
