Hug the Earth!

 

What Does This Poem Mean? 

Walking Along Feeling Free
Feeling The Earth here with me 
And I love her. She loves me
I hug the Earth, the Earth hugs me.
She's our friend,
We'd like to be together forever.
The Earth is our garden 
It's a beautiful place
For all living creatures
For all the human race,
Helping Mother Earth
We can peacefully roam,
we all deserve a place
We can call our home. 
Food is a treasure from soil and the sea.
Clean fresh air from the plants and the trees
The warmth of the sun giving life each day
Turns water into rain, it's nature's way.
I like to see you dressed in green and blue 
I want to be by you. 

This poem is a great poem! I love the way it is structured and the meaning behind it.  The meaning for me is that the earth has a lot to offer for us people living on her. Mother earth is so genuinely kind to us. She provides us with warmth, food, water, air for our lungs, beautiful scenery and so much more. She provides us with something beautiful to wake up to every morning. We call the earth our home and should love every piece of it. The earth is always giving us a hug so we should be kind and always give it a hug back. I think that I definitely could include this in my classroom. I think that I can do this to compare how many advances we have had in our earth to way back then in history. It would be great to compare the number of things that have grown since the caveman times like food, civilization, environment and so much more. How would you use this in your classroom?
