Trees are created for the shade they provide
flowers for their distinctive bouquet.
Waterfalls are created for their overflowing beauty
bees for their honey and their beautiful ballet.
Oceans are created for their vastness and rhythm
the sun, moon and stars for their light.
Clouds are created to bring us the rain
birds for their elegant flight.
Meadows are created for their peacefulness
mountains for their peaks so tall and grand.
Rivers are created to carve out landscapes
beaches for their endless sand.
The trees, the bees, the mountains the beaches every day are celebrated…
as are all the other unique wonders Mother nature has created.
Which makes me ask when nature looks at us…
from the flowers that bloom to the the trees that shade
to the birds and clouds that soar…
do they ever ask themselves…
I wonder…what are humans created for.
Of course if we could ever stop our hatred of one another
stop our discrimination and our wars
wouldn’t it be wonderful if we found our compassion, our acceptance
and our kindness is what we were create for.
Then we could proudly take our place in nature…
next to the sunlight peeking through the trees…
If creating kindness could be as natural to humans
as creating honey is to the bees.
