THE POWER OF THE PEN

EVERYDAY

Everyday I look at you

I wish everything were green

The broad smile on your leaves

Just makes my day.

Everyday I look at you

I thirst for water

Thanks to you

I can have it whenever I want

Everyday I look at you

I can’t help but admire you

How beautiful it is around you

Everyday I look at you

I imagine the erosion

I hear without you there’s no soil

Everyday I look at you

I imagine how it would have been

If you weren’t present

No water, no beauty, erosion and no

blessings, What!

I will protect you mother nature,

I will protect you mother earth.

I will, whatever it takes.

MOTHER EARTH

Our Mother,

Our Provider,

With you, we don’t have to bother,

You are the source of our nation,

You solve our stomach equation,

And hence forth, our stomach will be strong like leather,

You unite us with determination,

Ploughing, laughing, creating new relation,

Oh our mother, we thank you.

You are the home of others,

Food to us, through hither and tither,

For you beautiful scenery,

Tourists bless us with feathers

You are our survival,

with your special nursery,

Our lungs, are fed with your daughter,

You act as our intermediary,

Prayers from us, to our creator,

Thanks to you, our mother.

You are our blessings,

Cleansing our hearts, body and soul.
