Mother Earth: Of Reverence and Responsibility

 

Beneath boundless blue skies, dear Mother, you breathe,

Your fertile fields flourish like emerald wreaths,

You cradle countless creatures with care so deep,

O gentle guardian who never does sleep.

Your mountains stand mighty, like sentries so strong,

While whispering winds carry your ancient song,

Your rivers run restless through valleys so green,

Creating the most captivating scene.

Like a loving mother with arms open wide,

You shelter and shield us, your children with pride,

Your soil sustains us with bountiful bread,

While your forests provide the fresh air we need.

But we must be mindful, not merely take,

We must give back graciously for your sake,

Plant precious seeds where we've plundered before,

Protect your pure waters from shore to shore.

You nurture nations with never-ending love,

Like stars that shine softly in heavens above,

So let us be loyal, let us be true,

And tend to you, treasure, in all that we do.
