Poetry Competition: My Earth

My Earth

 

I belong here

Where trees become green and gold

Raindrops spill on my little flowers

My leaves dry to the bitter cold

 

I belong there

Where the sounds of nature lie

I rise with the sun this morning

A beautiful story in the blue sky

 

I belong where

In the scent of roses

Or in the heart of the world

Where no one goes

 

I belong with the air

My grass becomes their ground

I never wanted to be hurt

But they leave me unfound

 

I belong everywhere

In you and in me

Try to keep me safe

And in time your children will see

 

I belong to repair

Help me be free

Don’t destroy or kill me

For in the future I will no be.
