Child's poem for the Earth

Date:   9/18/2011 2:13:19 PM ( 14 y ago)

As I sit here on the grass
still wet with dew

I listen to the sounds of nature:
The birds chirping
The wind blowing through the trees

The bell rings and children come out to play
They run to the handball courts
It seems to be their favorite game

I watch them play until they go inside

Once again I'm alone
The world seems big and frightening

I once thought it was exciting and beautiful
Now it's dull and scary

But maybe this world is still beautiful
and it has just turned raw with industry

If this is so then there is still hope
that we can make the world a better place

---Child, age 11
