When the sky opens up its wonders
and sprinkles your eyes with light
think of how the world is feeling
on this ordinary night
Is she feeling sick with all the poison
floating in her sea
or coughing from the plumes of gas
which make it hard for her to breathe?
Are creatures tall and tiny
all thinking of what’s to come
and how to handle the heat
of a warmer and warmer sun?
But buried in a corner
of their varying sizes of mind
is a little gem of hope
they put in human kind
They know our lives are busy
but before you turn the page
think about old MotherEearth
who needs our care in her old age
