It's Not Too Late

Earth,

You've been sick for a while,

Feeling feverish and indecisive,

Not from the spinning,

But the constant twisting and turning,

Of weather.

I'm sorry,

For not seeing what you're worth,

And letting you feel hurt,

For many, long years.

I still need you here,

And I want to make you better.

I'm sorry for not being there,

Wasting without a care,

Forgetting you're in despair,

Being unaware,

That you're in need of repair,

Polluting the air,

And not saying a prayer,

For your healing.

I forgot that you and I,

Were made in God's light,

And that I made an oversight.

That you're always in my sights,

Walking with me and Christ,

Holding on tight,

Through the daily fights,

So, we both hold meaning.

So, we both should be shown love.

I'll plant this seed,

And hope it'll grow.

You'll get what you need,

On the ground and down below,

Deep in the sea.

Hopefully, people will understand,

The problem now.

That it was done by our hands,

But can be turned around,

By doing everything we can.

I hope,

That I, along with others, can do our part,

Cause I know that there are good hearts.

Just know, it's not too late to start,

So let's make you shine like a work of art.

Earth,

I want you to flourish again,

Make your suffering end,

Because like me, you deserve to you smile,

And live another long, good while.
