Our Beautiful Land

Sherri Granato
What has become of our beautiful land

The earth, wind, trees, and the sand

The air we breathe is anything but clean

I pray that I'll wake up

And find it's only a bad dream

The world was a gift to us

For all of mankind

So what are we doing

Are we really that blind

The outcome get's worse with each passing day

Global warming I fear is here to stay

The field of wildflowers I loved as a tot

Is now nothing more then a huge dumping spot

What have we done to a beautiful place

It is frightening to some

Much like an unexpected hard slap in the face

Flowers and grass, eventually there will be no trace

They will be a clouded and distant memory of the past

As more garbage and debris take their place.

    Scarey isn't. Mother earth has a way of taking care of herself by eliminating the problem causers through drought and famine. Look around you, across the world, in places like Japan where thousands have been wiped out by a natural phenomenon. This is a cleansing action by Mother Nature.

    What a lovely description of the world to come....and for today, it has not yet arrived. But can't wait to meet you in heaven some day when all will be right with the world. :-)
