Mother Earth
her body weak,
but her spirit strong,
she provides for us,
day after day,
sheltering us,
and feeding us,
as we argue and stray,
old now,
she does not respond like she once did,
more likely to lose her temper,
watching the destruction,
understanding eventually it must end,
until then,
though her body weak,
her spirit still strong,
as she helps meet our daily needs.
