Ole Mother Nature
You gave us time,
Time to cherish one another,
Time to hold one another,
And time to love one another.
You gave us air,
Air to breathe for life.
You gave us trees,
Trees to grow full of fruit.
You gave us land,
Land to till for other foods,
Land to live on,
Land to play on,
And land to hunt on.
You gave us fresh springs,
Fresh springs to drink from,
And fresh springs to cool off in,
During the hot summer days.
You gave us all types of beautiful flowers,
Beautiful flowers to remind us
Of the beauty that lays
Inside each and everyone of us.
You gave us many things, plus more.
Ole Mother Nature,
Why is it some do not stop
To see all these things?
Its like most take for granted your gift
Of a beautiful world.
Trashing the lands,
Polluting the waters and air,
Building bigger and taller buildings
Just to compete with one another,
Ignoring the pretty flowers,
And covering your dirt over our waste lands.

For how I see it,
If everyone would open their eyes,
They’d see what has been done.
Some have strived to make changes
And still continue.
Some are still blinded,
Where others don’t seem to care.
A lot of people wish for a better world.
But how can this be a better world
If people don’t open their eyes
To see what all is before them?
