A Prayer for the Earth
by Aarza Sachdeva (13 years old)


babbling with joy, from the minute we are born,
the soil paves a perfect path for us
to first stumble and then walk on
from the day we start talking
the wind carries our voices
so that our opinions can be heard
and our borders can be merged
throughout our life, we savor nature’s precious gifts
magnificent sunrises, four seasons, and even the gentle drift
this earth that we live on is the womb of our existence, cause of our prosperity
but how do we repay this? with barbarity?
chopping down trees and polluting the seas
animals choking on plastic while we laugh in glee
the gunshots finding their aim, as birds die in pain
our vicious poison giving the sea and sky an irreversible stain
overwhelmed with how he can live better than rest
man tramples over others’ desires and zest
forgetting about mother nature, the one who caressed
and under whose umbrella mankind has been blessed
why do we do this? maybe once if we give up all things mundane
lookup to see our mistakes and realize that we were insane
we will abandon things we don’t heed
and create humans which is what mother nature desperately needs
Earth and Me
by Kate Wilson (11 years old)

It doesn't matter if I'm under a tree
Or watching a bee
making honey.
Other kids would rather watch T.V.
But I will tell you,
THAT"S NOT ME!
There's no place I would rather be,
than with my besty -
Nature and me.

Earth and Me (Haiku)
by Joshua Lam (8 years old)



The Earth and Me
by Geoffrey Chan (9 years old)
The Earth is made up of a lot of things
including me.
And. you will never get bored by
going to the beach, making big sandcastles,
splashing water, cycling fast like
the wind, brushing my face.
I love the Earth
and the Earth loves me.
I protect the Earth by not polluting the air.
I love the Earth
and the Earth loves me.
