A Mother Earth

If you want to see something

that's truly beautiful,

gaze at the picture of earth above

and imagine her magnificent

oceans with white-capped waves,

warm sandy beaches,

gentle water falls,

meadows brimming with

wildflowers of every color,

misty hills beneath a purple horizon,

and great stands of woods

that stretch farther than

the eye can see.

Her body provides us with

nourishment and gives us shelter.

There's healing power

in her every leaf and brook,

and serenity can be found

in her soft bosom.

She's a living miracle in the

blackness of space,

a true gift from God.

She is our Mother,

providing all we need

and cradling us gently

in her loving arms.

She is home,

a vital part of who we are,

the essence of our being.

God put her in our trust,

so please take good care of her.

Respect her and all life upon her;

for we're all connected

to each other...

and to her.
