By Shweta Banerjee
As I walk across the earth,
thousands of things I get to see.
Birds fly high, soaring higher,
and on the flowers I hear the buzz of bees.
The sun at the dawn, rises within the hills.
Mountains covered with snow,
shining like the crown of silver.
And the waves touching the cliffs.
The waterfall flowing down
the green-blue mountains.
Rivers forming a dream delta
before entering the sea.
And while walking on the beach at night,
I feel the cool and sweet smelling breeze.
The slashing sound still feels like
the sound of love and peace.
The moon over the sea,
shining like a ball of gold.
And in every step my eyes hold wonder.
I bend on my knee
to thank the mother earth,
And is the truth.
it's a great pleasure for me,
to live in this wonderland.

POEM FOR MOTHER EARTH
ReplyDeleteThe earth is our mother,
We will not have another.
There's no better place to find
For animals, plants, mankind.
Green woods, beautiful lakes,
Nature has got what it takes.
We have to keep clean the air,
As environment everywhere.
Put an end to coal mining,
Nuclear power and fracking.
Climate concerns all nations,
Just as plastic in the oceans.
For good living day and night
Must change darkness and light.
Our planet, so wonderful blue,
We will always protect, We do!
