Mother Earth Poem by Kim Schilling

Oh
earthen
blue spirit,
beckoning us,
calling us to see
your attractiveness
and honor your frailty.
For it’s our duty to protect
all that you’ve kindly gifted to us,
to show you compassion and empathy.
Let’s not forsake you in the name of greed,
but rather cultivate your grand strength
and learn from all you may present.
That we would tread intensely,
on faithful Mother Earth
would point to failure;
Mankind’s demise.
Take note now;
God’s gift -
Earth
