EARTH DAY POEM

Let us express gratitude to Mother Earth on this auspicious day,

For you have unselfishly  carried us  along our path all the way,

Your beauty is astounding in the sea, in the sky and on the earth,

Let us now honour you and see the  full extent of your worth,

Let us conserve all the creature that  abound in your seas,

Let us conserve our relatives in the rainforests and plant trees,

Let us cherish and preserve you for generations  to come,

So all can enjoy you, explore  you and simply have fun,

You have carried us for millennia and met our every need,

Let us not destroy you because our ignorance and greed,
