Mother Earth No sacrifice She makes Is small At the hands of many Who do not honor Her at all.
And yet each Spring New life is born Flowers bloom And the animals play Hope made new From Winter's gloom.
But the hands of men Need to understand Her resilience Will not last. And that all humans Have a responsibility To preserve Her brilliance- Steadfast.
Mother Earth Her weight on our shoulders now Yet She continues to give. From Her roots & soils; harvest is plenty Into our bellies So that all may live.
May we set aside Our pride and ego And all our selfish industrial waste Get back to nature; honoring Her lands Great care we need to take Of Mother Earth for all our days.
