Save
Some
Save some meadows for the meadow larks
Some trees for robin’s nests
Save some meadows for the meadow larks
Some trees for robin’s nests
Save some oceans for the
fish and whales
Some milkweed for the monarchs
Save some wild places for wolves
Save some wild places for wolves
Some grasslands for the elk
Save some ponds for pollywogs
Some ice caps for the polar bears
Save some salmon for the grizzlies
Save some salmon for the grizzlies
Some hillsides for the wheat
Save some sunflowers for humming birds
Some nectar for the bees

Humans aren’t the only
ones on earth
Our Mother wants us to
share
Andrea Hughes
The earth's population has more than doubled in forty years from three billion when I was in high school to more than six and a half billion today.
Summer Bliss
Wakeup, wakeup, it’s summer
the
rooster croons
Other
birds echo twittered response
A meadow
lark reminds us
Bluffdale is a pretty little place
A soft breeze cools the air
Wind
chimes whisper a gentle tune
Roses celebrate
Roses celebrate
Curls
and twirls of petals spiral in
powder puff pink,
feathered fuchsia,
brilliant burgundy.
Picasso’s
palette splashes sunny yellows, corals,
and reds
The
climber through the window reflects
a cacophony
of crimson delight
The solstice
envelops us with it’s loving touch.
