Open Your Eyes
I offer mother earth my thanks
for treasure beyond money in banks
trees bursting with flowers aglow
the springtime magic show
~
birds sing, flit and mate
their partners happy and sate
april showers steady and rife
nourishing the hidden seeds of life
~
once again the miracle of birth
hidden treasures from the earth
tendrils reach to the sky
lift up your third eye
~
let the majesty of spring
make your heart sing
open your mind
beauty and grace combined
~
say goodbye to strife
allow beauty into your life
be still and know
life is all aglow
May the beauty of nature touch your soul and inspire you to love, protect and enjoy this precious planet.
Happy Earth Day. Love your Mother!

Thanks again Line! I will happily accept your good wishes any day. 🙂 Earth Day is a day to honor and protect the planet started in the 70’s by US activists to raise awareness about environmental challenges. Does it cool off toward Fall or Winter where you are?

Thank you for explaining Earth Day to me. 🙂 Yes, it cools off in June when the monsoon hits. Can’t wait for that! It is 40 degrees Celsius here every day now. I don’t like that.
