Sweet Mother Earth

My sweet mother earth I've loved you all of my life Your warm summer breath Gently touching my skin The feel of your chilly winter embrace The springtime tears of joy You cry running down my face The perfume that you wear in autumn Takes me back to childhood play Oh my sweet mother earth How I want to hug you How I love to love you How I wish others would Treat you right You give us you're all We give nothing in return When will people wake up When will people learn you Are all we have there is no Other home So sweet Mother Earth I exalt you In tome I speak of your tenderness Written in poem Oh sweet mother earth I've Loved you all of my life My heart aches that others Do not treat you right

Sad how she's treated by human. Yet we complained of too much rain and thunder, too hot and too cold. Perhaps She too complain of too much polutions and chemicals. Perhaps she too complain that her birds are homeless and her ocean is becoming bare... awesome write Ed. Very caring, I appreciate it :)
