Notes About The Poem

Nature's Caretakers



Nature endows us with gifts

     hoping we'll not be spendthrifts.

          She warns us to be aware

her balance we might impair.


Must end all destructive ways

     for we are the caretakers

          to make sure her future days

become history makers.
