Love the first stanza so much. Who else can describe the floating clouds in the blue sky as this other than a highly imaginative poet like you! Our Mother Earth is slowly losing all its pristine charm . To retain it, we have to work together and pray together. A beautiful entry for the contest. Dear Sam, wish you all the Best!

Valsa, dear friend, sending your heartfelt thank you's on the wings of gratitude. I am thrilled you liked this poem. Each of us is responsible to be a good steward of this our home - our earth. And, each of us will be responsible to do our part whether large or small in retaining earth's beauty and viability. And, I do believe, doing our part starts with prayer then God will reveal to us what to do next. We, as poets and writers, have a great task ahead of us to be "influencers" of thought that changes actions. Sending you blessings. Thank you!

You are not alone, my dear friend. I am praying along with you. Our world was Created by our Creator, and many are destroying the beauty that surrounds us. Your thoughts touch my heart so deeply. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Greetings dear friend! When I see the pollution, the destruction of our natural resources, the wildfires my spirit weeps for our gift from God - this our earth who our Creator gave us dominion over as stewards! Thank you for joining in my prayer for this beautiful world. Hopefully prayer will change the hearts and actions of those who would destroy our planet for wealth. Blessings dear friend!

I love this, Sam. "pray for Mother Earth" ~ yes, we must. Your poem points out her wonders, lest we forget. Best of luck!

Ann, my friend, heartfelt gratitude coming your way! Space travel has given us the gift of seeing our world in all of its wonder and glory. I never fail to feel wonder and awe when I see the pictures of our planet from space! We have been given the awesome responsibility of being stewards of this gift - earth. And, lest we forget, earth reminds us of our blunders that scar her face and weaken her. It is truly gratifying to know so many pray for our "Mother Earth!" Blessings.
