On Earth Day 2026
Happy Earth Day, Mother Earth!
I have to say, for what it’s worth,
That you’ve seemed better in the past;
Things are getting grimmer, fast.
Lack of snow in ski resorts
Has hurt much more than winter sports,
With fire, now, a constant fear,
Especially when winds blow near.
While temperatures that fluctuate
Cause harm to crops and, as of late,
Between the times of floods and droughts,
Your advocates are having doubts
About sustainability;
Will future generations see
A way to help protect your lands
In ways that modern life demands?
We humans have our work to do
To fix the damage done to you,
But while we can, let’s pledge to try
So Earth Day hopes don’t up and die.
