Ode To Nature

Oh giver of life, you glorious Sun, You instinctively know what must be done. I bask in your warmth to gain energy; Marvel how you raise up each plant and tree. You, gracious Moon ever watchful at night Even aware when your eye is closed tight. You sway our emotions, also the sea; Cause turmoil at times or tranquility. I love you Earth and all of your creatures. There's joy in knowing you are our teachers. I will, to treat you with respect and care And pray that the world will become aware When we poison you, we poison us too. Keeping you balanced will grow life anew. We are blessed with Earth, sea, wind and fire; Ether, divine, our longing desire Helps us to treasure our blessings on Earth And love that's bestowed when given our birth. So embrace loyal Sun and moody Moon As sweet Nature sings her loveliest tune. © Connie Marcum Wong
