A Magnificent Place
Earth is a magnificent place,
a blue marble spinning in space.
It hosts stretches of ice and snow,
jungles, forests, mountains, grasslands,
oxbow rivers and burning sands.
Along with rain, wind, hail, and snow
Earth has glaciers, rivers of ice,
that cap its polls not once, but twice.
And white water, whose untamed flow
carves out gorges and canyon walls;
creating effervescent falls
tumbling down to the rocks below.
Earth is a magnificent place,
where seasons change at Nature's pace.
At Dusk, twinkling stars start to show
while wolves and bears roam the Badlands;
and birds and snakes stock the Wetlands.
From caves to a niche or grotto,
bats live in the planet's bowels;
alongside the burrowing owls
and cockroaches eating guano.
The Earth is a spinning blue orb
where there is so much to absorb;
from the mega to the micro.
Earth is home to the human race
and we've no other place to go:
so let's protect it, just in case.
