Mother Earth

For providing beautiful mountains, forests, seas, lakes, and streams.

For being a home, a shelter, to more than 30 million of species.

For letting us survive until today.

We thank you, 

Mother Earth.

For altering your surface.

For disturbing your mountains, forests, seas, lakes, and streams.

For the junk, garbage, and debris we've obviously made.

We're sorry, 

Mother Earth.

You know you're strong.

You've been here for the past 4.5 billion years.

You're even much stronger than we always know.
