I have been asked to speak to students at Jeffrey Elementary School, located in Madison, CT on Earth Day, April 22, 2008. This poem is dedicated to those students.

Earth Day is approaching.  It is a day to celebrate our planet and to do our part to conserve resources and save endangered species.  If each human being vowed to take part in this mission, in just a few short years
we would see a huge change:

"The Earth Day Poem"

by Amber "V" Moonstone 4/10/08

Our forests are dying,
Our lakes are drying,
Mother Earth is crying,
and we must start trying!

Trying to save our Earth
giving back what it's worth,
toward a new day of
REBIRTH!!!

Join the millions of people world wide,
to begin to live with pride,
while waste begins to subside,
and conservation is taken in stride.

Use paper, not plastic bags,
Recycle clothing to use as rags,
Re-do, repair, re-dream,
Don't buy new, buy green!

Walk or share a ride,
Conserve water town wide,
read a book, or play a game,
Live in peace without shame.

We must begin today,
there is no time to delay,
Mother Earth is needing you to pray,

On This 2008, Earth Day!

Peace, love, and light,
