Earth Day

With thanks to the mother of us all . . .

For sun and wind . . .

For patterned leaves . . .

For clouds and mountains, trees and sky . . .

For water flowing clean and free . . .

For blooming meadows . . .

For yellow, that brightens the world . . .

For all creatures, slow . . .

And fast . . .

For flowers . . . freely given . . .

Nature's grace notes . . .

And, of course, kittens.
