Mother Earth

(World Earth Day April 22, 2024)


Earth the third planet in solar system

Only place for life with freedom

Crust and liquid core create gravity

That holds air and water in captivity.


It rotates on its axis to give day night

Revolves around the sun in sight

We face seasons in succession

We enjoy our lives in progression.


Earth is no less than a mother

It gives us light food air and water

It also gives us fuels to fire

And keep us mobile for ever.


Earth is an imperfect perfect sphere

That is flat at poles to appear

This makes it rotate perpetually

And maintain life perennially.


Moon is a lonely satellite

It changes its form every night

It looks so beautiful from earth

It's a symbol of love for its worth.


We may be groping for other planets

We have explored moon and mars

Earth is still a beautiful place

It's heaven here no one can replace.
