Should The Earth
When you
walk down the street
and see
all the dirt and garbage,
you
wonder to yourself...
should
the earth accept this...
when you
gaze into the sky
and see
the smoke bellowing up high,
you
wonder to yourself...
should
the earth allow this...
when you
see the water ways
and the
oceans pollution,
you
wonder to yourself...
should
the earth condone this...
Look at
the bees
who first
make wax then honey so pure,
it leaves
no traces behind...
no
pollution or destruction...
yet it
works every day...
without
complaint or delay...
look at
the trees
who
filter our air,
removing
the impurities...
without
pollution or destruction...
sending
forth fresh oxygen...
every day
without fail...
How
little we know...
how much
damage we cause...
you
wonder to yourself...
should
the earth permit this...

Loving Grace
Wrap me
in Your warm embrace,
comfort
my soul within Your loving grace,
lift me
high above my fears,
gently
wipe away my tears,
open my
eyes so I may see,
lead me
onto paths where I can be free,
let me
feel Your tender love,
flying
through my soul like a gentle dove,
tingling
through my veins with amazing delight,
empowering
my heart with glorious might,
show me clearly
that You are near,
surround
my being with peace so dear,
lost and
alone in a world so wicked,
becoming
entangled in every thicket,
just wrap
me in Your warm embrace,
comfort
my soul within Your loving grace.
Amen.

A Sigh Of Relief
Mother
earth breathes a sigh of relief,
after
generations of sorrow and grief,
used and
abused at the hand of humanity,
rushing
around in greed and insanity.
Perfect
creation that sustains itself,
cycles
rotating with vigour and health,
has
suffered severely through human ignorance,
ripping
and grabbing with selfish intolerance.
Gain with
destruction is all in vain,
all we do
is cause suffering and pain,
we hurt
the earth that brings forth birth,
destroying
the treasures of value and worth.
Earth has
been crying for ever so long,
trying to
warn us of all our wrong,
earthquakes
and volcano's have rocked the land,
floods
and tornado's have moved the sand.
When will
man listen, when will we hear,
do we
have to be shocked with trouble and fear,
when will
we treat the earth with respect,
when it's
all too late as we die in regret.
