WORLD DAY

I am the Earth

And the Earth is me.

Each blade of grass,

Each honey tree,

Each bit of mud,

And stick and stone

Is blood and muscle,

Skin and bone.

And just as I

Need every bit,

Of me to make

My body fit,

So Earth needs,

Grass and stone and tree

And things that grow here

    Naturally!

That's why we

Celebrate this day.

That's why across

The World we say:

    As long as life,

    As dear, as free,

I am the Earth

And the Earth is me.
