Lend a Hand

Nature created a balance Man wants to conquer and thrive Progress not conservation is Man’s desire Soon there’ll be nowhere for Nature to survive So, pick up that bottle Carry out your trash Leave nothing behind Plastics give ‘em a rash Leave the branches alone No carving initials, please Let them grow big and strong Let Nature, not man, bring disease Clean up the waters Stop dumping our waste Let us let the fish breathe Our pollutants bring demise in haste Birds fly through smog We darken the skies with our clouds We constantly take this world for granted And the Earth grumbles aloud Lend a hand for Mother Earth Just do your small part For the animals, plants, water and your kids Today is a great day to start

We need to do all we can to "lend a hand" now, Anthony. Future generations and the future of our world are at stake as you expressed so poignantly in this compelling poem. Goes to my favorites. Love, Carolyn
