Our planet is alive
filled with wonders and tears
each place is different
some filled with fears
There are mountains
so beautiful and tall
there are many trees
some are dormant in the fall
The deserts are filled
with cactus and sand
everything is dry
across the hot and scorching land
There are rolling plains
filled with wheat
flowing beautifully
in the late summer heat
There is ice
cross the Alaska land
dormant life in winter
snow fine as sand
There are oceans
teeming with life abound
waves filled with treasures
enjoyed by all around
Our planet is alive
Blessed by God's grace
a home for all of us
wonderful for the human race
