A very Happy Earth Day to Mother Earth
and all my family, friends and readers.
I hope you all enjoy the
photos, quotes, poem and humour.
Let us all do our utmost
to look after Mother Earth.
Thank you and God bless us all.

I Am Of The Earth
I am of the earth
She is my mother
She bore me with pride
She reared me with love
She cradled me each evening
She pushed the wind to make it sing
She built me a house of harmonious colors
She fed me the fruits of her fields
She rewarded me with memories of her smiles
She punished me with the passing of time
And at last when I long to leave
She will embrace me for eternity.
