"The Gift"

by Melody Fox©

...How barren a city would be
Without a flower or a single tree
How sad for you and me
Life would be crippled
With only gray sounds of thunder
With no colors to look at in wonder

What if the sun stopped shining in the skies?
Humanity would be in a corner waiting to die
And if the moon turned off her light,
What a sad, unspoken plight!

And the stars...
If they shut off their merry twinkle
All our dreams would become nothing but a wrinkle...

Embrace the world that surrounds you
Accept and protect the magic gift that has been given you&...
