                                                    Earth

                                   I love to dwell on a hill slope
                            Where humbly lies my humble home
                                   Bordering the river of hope
                            With giant trees shrouding its dome.

                                 The sweet water of the river
                                Nourishes my hillside garden, 
                            A showcase for some rare flowers,
                             Which I till during the weekends.

                        I gather strength from morning strolls
                              On strait lanes along the river
                        That hums tunes to comfort my soul
                            And relieves woes of my quiver.

                             Inhaling the fresh morning air
                      With sparrows singing their soft songs,
                           Butterflies hopping everywhere
                      Procures strength one`s life to prolong.

                             Staring at some lovely lilies
                            Opening their buds is delight
                            That very few other beauties
                            Can vie as relish to the sight.

                          Gazing at trees and upper hills
                  While caring for earth and plant`s health
                     Invests the heart with shines of thrill
                     And the body with nature’s strength.

                         Contemplating beauty of earth
                           Confers vigour to onlookers
                         That is enduring till last breath
                        Of nature saviours and seekers.

                       Indeed, cherishing earth beauty
                        Ignites in man love for nature,
                       Sharpens taste for sublime duty
                       And his love for Divine Mother.
