Mother Nature Cries

Terri Deno
Mother Nature cries for her children

Those helpless, green buds in Spring.

She cries tears of joy for the new life

Only she can bring forth.

Mother Nature weeps for her babies

Growing up too fast in the wide-eyed Summer.

She weeps into the streams

Feeding life, feeding maturity.

Mother Nature sobs for her offspring

Long grown and withering in the Fall.

She sobs and aches for those children

Since they have learned to destroy her.

Mother Nature will die for her children

If they refuse to let Winter in.

She chokes on the product of Man

And cannot stop her tears.
