Our Challenge



Day breaks in its majestic brilliance,

spraying light to my visions four corners.

Showing the earth with all its resilience,

Trees, water and light with all their honors.



Rivers flowing slowly for miles on end,

hitting rapids so rough like life’s living.

Sights so vividly profound they transcend,

filling my heart so I feel like giving.



Mustn’t we think and then do what we can,

to preserve the world in infinite glory.

Thus keeping it pure as when it began,

being the keepers of its inventory.



Ours is the challenge of keeping it pure,

for our children’s children must be secure.

i love the flow of this poem.. soo romantic... this stanza is good enough,

Rivers flowing slowly for miles on end,
hitting rapids so rough like life’s living.
Sights so vividly profound they transcend,
filling my heart so I feel like giving.
