Mankind Must Learn

Mankind Must Learn Out were the rich earth reaches the growing vine Nature bears fruit to gift such sweet , red wine Earth , water and soil wedded with man's work sweet results born from labors not shirked Hot sun sends rays of shining beams of solar light giving many blessings and life that's very right All Nature serves man's earthy wants and needs man must reply in kind by caring, saving deeds Future life requires a caring , very smart plan otherwise earth lives on without the life of man Universe exists in real and rich fantasy mists life must survive or love ceases to exist!

Ah! If only we had done as instructed! Be keepers and caretakers of the earth... It was designed for us to care for it and it to care for us... Boy did we mess that up!.. Awesome write my friend!.. Hugs.. Arlene

Thanks Dave. My grandfather was Native American so I am not far removed from people that took great care of the earth as a primary part of their religion.
