It's Elemental

Earth is our home 
                created with love.
                Honor it.

                 Air is our freedom
                 to think and create.
                 Breathe deeply.

                 Fire is the love
                 that burns within us.
                 Live with passion.

                 Water is life
                 to all creatures big and small.
                 Drink it up.

Hey, Carole - I've been gone, but now I've come along cause I've missed your cute face and your writing. Andrea's comments go for me, as well, in fact, she and I often discuss astrology, plus. But while Andrea is filling home with creative love, I am air free flying creativity! Very clever. I enjoyed it for being unique in such a clever way. Hope you are golden ... CayCay

Carole, I agree with your sentiments, nature is a gift of God and it's our duty to preserve it. Nicely penned! John

I think that people are fighting very hard to save this wonderful planet that we live in. We must all do our part and heed this inspirational poem of yours Carole. Wise words....Maria xxx

Yes, I know SOME people are doing their part to save our beautiful earth but then there are those careless ones who we must seek to convert to becoming Protectors. Maybe more poetry is needed. Thank you for your inspiring comment, Maria.
