    The land is in a constant state of birth,

  11. Mother Nature

    Always the quiet one in any crowd, yet always thinking. After the unexpected death of my husband, I found that writing down my thoughts helped me deal with my life. Somehow it usually came out in poetic form. My little poems have been my therapist, friend, and inspiration. Perhaps someone else will derive pleasure or help from them as well.

    Mankind can be so arrogant and careless. This poem reminds us to care for our Earth or pay the price.

    in Environment Poems

    Our world is always changing,
    Constantly rearranging.
    From ocean depths to mountain peaks,
    Mother Nature moves and speaks.

  12. Mother Earth

    • By Dave Mottram
    • Published by Family Friend Poems April 2019 with permission of the Author.

    I was inspired to write this poem after a period of sadness and concern about the way the Earth and its ecosystems were being devastated around the globe, with wars, deforestation and pollution, and I wrote it in the hope that one day human beings could see the error of their ways and try to repair the damage that has already ensued.

    in Environment Poems

    Our Earth is beautiful as viewed from the sky.
    But wait! Is Mother about to cry?
    This blue planet shakes and trembles and sheds its tears
    As it feels the wars and the pain of its tenants' fears.

    Christopher Ndubuisi is an environmental enthusiast and a climate change technical officer in a public authority.
    I believe our war against climate change has to be waged from several sectors; technically, religiously, educationally, poetically...just to mention a few.

    alluring was the beauty of Mother Earth.

    I love nature. As I marvel at its beauty, I am reminded of my responsibility to care for it.

    Nature paints the waters blue and the mountains green,
    As the music of swaying trees and roaming beasts reign.
