Creation’s Plea

Spring is here

Showing its color

Peeking out from under

Winter’s blanket, soft and warm

The sun bringing forth new life in every form

Snow is melting, setting free

Lifeblood of the earth

Waters flow to the sea

The circle of life continues its journey

The wind blows gently

God’s breath, Holy Spirit

Gives life so freely

Whispers of love, you can hear it

All things of the earth

Living, breathing, sacred worth

Their song must be heard

It’s our choice to preserve

This gift from the heavens, so lovely a jewel

God granted this planet, our home for awhile

Treasures upon it for our enjoyment

Survival, recreation, even employment

It sustains our lives, gives food to nourish

Sweet music to listen, and beauty to flourish

We must cherish the value of this great gift

Entrusted to our care

Our home together with all things living

It asks that we learn to share

Survival of the fittest was part of the plan

But killing with malice and raping the land

Was not the intent

We’ve lost respect

Man’s power abused

God is not amused

Creation cries out, her music speaks

Her tone, her rhythm, her very heartbeat

Listen, you can hear the plea

Of nature’s call to you and me

The undertones of pain and suffering

Heard across the planet

Creation groans, asks for an offering

Of peace and good will, our commitment to save it!
