Moon Rise

Only a handful have seen an Earth rise
As it emerges from behind the moon
But they all agree when they see its size
That life is fragile and ends way too soon
Do not harm the Earth they all seem to say
No life exists but what we have today

Larry, your poem made me think, and that is amazing as I was not in the thinking mood until I got to this poem. Thank you!
