Earth

by PJ Perry

You float on heavens highway

One spore amongst millions

The odds are stacked against you

In the billions

Yet here you are

More beautiful than all

Young and scarred

At the mercy of physics laws

Nature has nurtured you

And you thrive and flourish

A life giver true

You rage and you nourish

In your presence

We take nothing for granted

But in your benevolence

There are those who've taken what they wanted

I do my best

To do right by you

But I'm one in a billion I confess

The odds are stacked against me too
