A Poem for the Great Mother Earth


She's lush and harsh and beautiful
amazing, large and awesome
Her generosity is endless,
her heart is pure and wholesome

She welcomes us to her gentle arms
is friendly with the skies
and cradles us in her gentle hands
as she sings us lullabies

She's our gentle blue-green mother
The rock of all our lives
though we don't appreciate
the very life she gives

Our mother is now weakened
sick with strange disease
and it's all because we've damaged her
with poison and with greed

Today is mother's day
a day marked in her honour
May every day be mother's day
let's harm our earth no further

Amen to that! Beautiful poem, as always, but I am particularly fond of this one. I worry for our dear Mother earth, and I want to see her survive for many,many more millenia. Please people, let's protect her!
