O Earth!
A marvel of nature’s wonders.
A cradle of life, a treasure so rare,
Teeming with beauty beyond compare.
From verdant forests to deserts so dry,
Mountains majestic that reach the sky,
Rivers that meander in a graceful flow,
Oceans vast, where mysteries lay below.
Home to creatures, both great and small,
From soaring eagles to creatures that crawl,
From buzzing bees to the mighty blue whale,
Each part of a delicate, interconnected tale.
The seasons dance in perfect rhythm,
With nature’s cycles, a thrilling symphony.
A symphony of colours, a sensory delight,
Nature’s artwork a captivating sight.
Spring’s blossoms burst with vibrant hues,
Summer’s warmth brings adventure anew.
Autumn’s leaves paint a fiery scene,
Winter’s frost creates a wonderland as you’ve never seen.
O Earth!
So pure and true,
Threatened by our actions, it’s sadly true.
Pollution, deforestation, and climate change,
A legacy, so harsh, so strange.
Let’s heal the wounds we’ve caused thus far,
Embrace restorative ways and let them grow.
Reduce, reuse, recycle with care,
And show our Earth the love we swear.
For here is our only home in the vast expanse,
A treasure to treasure, a gift so divine,
To live in harmony with nature’s grace,
And ensure a sustainable, thriving place.
