Within all nature she resides
the mother of the earth,
crying out to all mankind
to recognise her worth.
Much pain she does experience
as so many scar her face,
from hurricanes to earthquakes
so much beauty is erased.
Her cries they go unnoticed
as our climate starts to change,
for what God in love created
for our own comfort we'll exchange.
And as she whimpers painfully
her children slowly die,
the ones so old and treasured
cut down in the blink of an eye.
For eons she has nurtured
growth and history through her trees
whispering words of wisdom
respect both past and future, their quiet plea.
