MOTHER NATURE

BY FIONA CUMMINGS

Whilst the night is so still

But in the air is a chill

The silver moon bows

To the stars in the clouds

The cobalt sky

Holds mystery so high

A blanket on earth

To give sun to the turf

And rain to the flowers

Be thankful for gentle showers

And in winter the ice we reject

Is important to kill the unwanted insect

To the midnight sky

I ask why?

Do you have to be dark at night

And in the morning daylight

Who made the sun the moon and the stars?

Who told the moon to talk to the tide?

Whatever whoever it is

Why do they hide?

Why do we need to sleep?

 When late we must creep

Not to wake others

Whisper when we speak

To think of the night sky

My body shivers

Though I’m warm indoors

But when I think of the sun

I want to have fun

What a world we live in

If only we could be at peace within

And love one an other

Do we see the stars fighting

The wars in the sky is it lightning?

If it were up to nature

What a better land we would nurture

We were given a beautiful world

But we were greedy wanting gold

Needing to steel

To see what can be sold

This is just how I feel

A story to be told

It’s a huge sky out there

For us all to share

We can save the earth

Let nature give birth

 And let us all take care

Of what we have been given

Because for all we know

This might be heaven

As good as it gets

Glorious sunsets

And butterfly dreams

Crystal streams

And rocky oceans

Someone, something, has magical potions

But we destroy, with killing explosions

You can shange the future

Be a teacher

Of what is good and bad

Allowing our children to see the sky

And not be sad

Under a manmade shelter

Where we plug in fresh air

They will look up to what was once stars

But there will be nothing there

Show your children, that you care
