This Jewel We Call Mother Earth
If we are loved
Nothing else really matters
We go to bed to dream
We wake with a smile
We greet the sunshine with sunshine
Our steps are lighter
Our worries are small and insignificant
The news of the day is less important
Allowing us to cope
To see all the good things life has to offer
It is so easy to fall into the trap of doom and gloom
The six o'clock news is just a collection
Of one tragedy after another
One suicide bombing after another
So difficult to stay positive
But a positive attitude is what makes the difference
Allowing us to cope
Allowing us to see the beautiful treasures
Life has to offer
It is there for the taking
No need for status or wealth
Just an ability to care, to feel, to love
Your fellow inhabitants
Of this jewel we call Mother Earth
