Walk Softly

The fish in the sea,
the birds that have dominion in the air,
the animals of the forest,
these habitats entrusted to our care.

We should treat all of God's creatures
with honor and respect,
must be good stewards of our mother earth,
never let her feel neglect.

God has granted us dominion
over His beautiful earthly domain,
to walk upon this earth softly
and never to leave a stain.
