I Love the Earth

I love the earth,

The trees,

The plants,

The life.

I love the earth,

The way the bugs buzz

The way the birds chirp,

The way the frogs croak.

I love the earth,

The way the weeping willows sway,

The way the birds fly, wings spread out.

I love the earth,

The smell of freshly cut grass,

The way the trees sway,

The sound of birds chirping,

The fresh air,

The feel of the wind,

Circling around my hand.

I love the earth.

    You are your own country, but I know I don’t have to tell you that.

    You already know it.
