Mother Nature’s Cycle of Life

I’ve been watching the miracle of spring;

I’ve been watching the world come alive.

From the blossom’s bright colors that seem to sing,

to the bees working busily around their hive.

The dead gray of winter always feels like a tomb;

it is as dark as its short days.

Now life bursts from Mother Nature’s womb,

brightening the world is so many ways.

The rain comes down in a steady April shower;

as Mother Nature prepares the world to grow.

Heaven’s water strengthens every beautiful flower,

and nurtures all living things below.

The cycle of life begins anew

as we think of the chick, the bunny, and the fawn.

It is a rebirth and we feel it too;

like the breaking of an all new dawn.

Mother Nature has brought forth this season

since before there was human life.

But now humans without reason

are cutting the cycle with pollution’s knife.

Each year we increase the load

that Mother Nature has to bare.

Soon our dear mother’s back won’t hold,

and then it will be misery that we will share.

Please help Mother Nature before it’s too late,

before she lies down to sleep.

For if she closes her eyes it will seal our fate,

and then we will lay down and weep.
