"MOTHER EARTH" by Becky Hemsley

"MOTHER EARTH"
by Becky Hemsley

She’s mountains and she’s sunshine

She’s the moon, silvery bright

She’s the clouds and wind and rain

And she’s the dancing Northern Lights

She is deserts and savannahs

She’s the waves that fill the sea

She is birdsong and she’s flowers

She’s the blossom on the trees

And if you treat her fairly

She will let the sun shine through

She will kiss you with a gentle breeze

And paint the sky in blue

She’ll rain if you are thirsty

Then she’ll blow the clouds away

And she’ll decorate with rainbows

Whilst she calms the ocean waves

But if you treat her badly

She will breathe out stormy skies

She will summon up tornadoes

And antagonise the tides

She’ll throw things from the mountain

In an avalanche of snow

And she’ll blaze and burn the forest

So the trees no longer grow

She’ll treat you as you treat her

So be careful what you choose

For she’s power you can’t comprehend

And much she stands to lose

So treat her with the kindness

And respect that she deserves

'Cause, if you rearrange her heart

You’ll see it holds the earth

*******

I love how heart and earth have the same letters just rearranged. It reminds me how much we are a part of this planet - and how much it is a part of us
