(A poem for Earth Day in response to the words of Jesus where he says in Mark 16:15 proclaim the gospel to all creation.)
What is Good News?
To a river
To the sky
To a forest
To the trees
To the ocean
To the birds
To the bugs
To the bees
To the lakes
To the mountains
To the critters
In the seas
To all people
To the planet
To all creatures
You and me
So let us turn
Instead of burn
Let us listen
Let us learn
Let us practice
Let us preach
Until renewal
Is within reach

Let’s take care of the earth
All people
Everywhere
It is our only home.
The stars and the planets
Are too far away.
They were not given to us
To inhabit with these bodies,
but to guide and inspire.
We can be
The gentle
The meek,
The careful
Who inherit the earth.
We can think of our children
And their children
And their children’s children.
We can share her resources
We do not need to hoard them
She has enough for us all.
Enjoy her beauty
She feeds your souls
Be inspired to create
More beauty
More abundance
We can do this together.
