taking care of mother<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
it’s not always sad you know<\/p>\n
it’s not always gloom<\/p>\n
just look at all the flowers<\/p>\n
and ponder the pearl moon<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the oceans speak of flashes<\/p>\n
their colors out of view<\/p>\n
the beetle bugs and fireflies<\/p>\n
they know just what to do<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
sometimes it seems so crazy<\/p>\n
this world that comes from man<\/p>\n
but if you take a few steps back<\/p>\n
you’ll see a bigger plan<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
all seasons come and always leave<\/p>\n
the plants know when to grow<\/p>\n
the rain and sun will do their work<\/p>\n
the streams and rivers flow<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
perhaps we’ll be forgotten<\/p>\n
after all the mess we’ve made<\/p>\n
but nature knows to clean her house<\/p>\n
with all her gifts handmade<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
if we want to stay around this place<\/p>\n
it’s time we showed some sense<\/p>\n
by taking care of mother earth<\/p>\n
and come to her defense<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
you matter in this struggle<\/p>\n
don’t turn the other cheek<\/p>\n
speak up for what’s important<\/p>\n
or no doubt our future’s bleak<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
