POEM TO MOTHER NATURE

Dear Mother Nature,

†

Oh Mother Nature, so sweet and wild,

You’re the essence of life, undefiled.

From mountains high to oceans deep,

Your beauty and power eternal, never asleep.

†

Your verdant greens with skies of blue,

Flowers bloom, bathed in sweet dew.

All your wonders an endless delight,

They fill us with joy and great insight.

†

Your creatures roam Earth, as birds soar through the sky,

The rivers all flowing from peaks so high.

All of your gifts, treasures to behold,

The fabric of life, more precious than gold.

†

Oh Mother Nature, we bow to thee,

With love and gratitude abundantly.

May we forever cherish and protect,

All that you give, with due respect.

†

We feel your wrath at times, when you test us

With earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, and tempests.

The fires, the floods, and famines leave us forsaken.

We ask your forgiveness, as we hope to awaken.

†

For you are the Earth, giving the air we breathe,

The sun that warms and the rain that feeds.

Oh Mother Nature, we honor and cherish,

Your beauty and power, to never perish.

†
