Mother Earth

Mother Earth

By Paul McCann

Mother Earth we have felt earthquakes

 and seen tidal waves bring devastation

and destruction to all of mankind   .

Mother Earth we are sorry the missile tests 

and experimenting  with nuclear bombs for such a long time .

Mother Earth there have been droughts , famine ,

landslides and floods and we have seen all

the effects of global climate change .

Mother Earth , we are many cultures with differences

but when we learn to live together we are not so strange .

Mother Earth, we are sorry for cutting down the trees .

We need to find a way to restore the forests again

Mother Earth we are sorry for polluting the air

with carbon monoxide all the poisonous methane  

Mother Earth we have heard all the fury in the storms

and we have seen the anger of bush fires raging through towns

Mother Earth we are sorry for the damage we’ve done

dumping rubbish in the oceans and outback undergrounds  .

Mother Earth help us to encourage growth on the land

to feed the hungry and restore hope for all those in need .

Mother Earth we are learning to respect where we live

We want a better world and with your help we can succeed.
