Each glorious day, arise at dawn
When the darkness of night is gone.
Hopefully, you can see skies of blue
And your cares and worries are few.
Cherish each day and do not pine,
Treat each occasion like roses and wine,
View the azure sky and each downy cloud,
The contributions of Nature clear and profound.
Salvage this land that is your home,
Seek a concerted effort so you are not alone,
Accept the things that Nature has lent.
And then spending your days in sweet content.
Always have Nature's priorities very near,
Challenge every moment without fear,
Make environmental decisions that are grand,
Posterity will be grateful for preserving the land.
Joseph T. Renaldi
