World Enviroment Day Linking Pin Sonnet And Prayer
Creation cries through wind and wave and tree,
Tree roots clutch soil like prayers yearning free.
Free rivers sing, but choked by human hand,
Hand scorched the skies, now breathes a dying land.
Land we were gifted, Eden’s greenest grace,
Grace we forgot, now storms our hearts replace.
Replace the waste with care, the greed with love,
Love heals the earth—our charge from God above.
Above the clouds, the sun still hopes to shine,
Shine through the dark where truth and light align.
Align our steps with nature’s sacred law,
Law etched in bark and bloom we never saw.
Saw we not signs? Wake now, protect and pray—
Pray Earth forgives us this Environment Day.

Prayer for World Environment Day:
Heavenly Creator,
We thank You for the gift of this beautiful Earth—
For the trees that breathe life, the waters that cleanse,
The skies that shelter, and the soil that nourishes.
Forgive us for the harm we’ve done by neglect and greed.
Inspire us to become faithful stewards of Your creation.
Grant us wisdom to restore what is broken,
Courage to protect what is precious,
And compassion to act not just for today,
But for the generations yet to come.
Let our hearts beat in rhythm with the earth You formed,
And may our hands work to heal what You love.
In Your holy name, we pray.
Amen.
