An Acrostic Poem for Earth Day: A Celebration of Our Planet
Earth Day, a time to reflect and renew, Renew our commitment to skies so blue. To oceans teeming, a vibrant, wild hue, To forests ancient, forever true. To mountains majestic, reaching high above, Helping us remember nature's love.
Each creature great and small, a vital part, Aching for our help to heal the heart Of Mother Earth, wounded and in need, Rejoicing in the seeds that we indeed Sow for the future, a better tomorrow, To live in harmony, showing our sorrow For past mistakes, and promising to mend, To be the guardians until the very end. To heal the planet, our sacred duty, Helping each other, showing our beauty And strength, united, a force so grand, Yearning for a future, a helping hand.
