Lend a Hand

Nature created a balance
	Man wants to conquer and thrive
Progress not conservation is Man’s desire
	Soon there’ll be nowhere for Nature to survive

 So, pick up that bottle
	Carry out your trash
Leave nothing behind
	Plastics give ‘em a rash

Leave the branches alone
	No carving initials, please
Let them grow big and strong
	Let Nature, not man, bring disease

Clean up the waters
	Stop dumping our waste
Let us let the fish breathe
	Our pollutants bring demise in haste

Birds fly through smog
	We darken the skies with our clouds
We constantly take this world for granted
	And the Earth grumbles aloud

Lend a hand for Mother Earth
	Just do your small part
For the animals, plants, water and your kids
	Today is a great day to start

We need to do all we can to "lend a hand" now, Anthony. Future generations and the future of our world are at stake as you expressed so poignantly in this compelling poem. Goes to my favorites. Love, Carolyn
