The Earth is also called ‘Mother Earth’ due to its nature of nurturing life just as a

mother. The Earth gives life to organisms just like a mother. The Earth nurtures

each organism like a mother. As a mother takes care of the food for a child, it also

provides food for its organisms. As a mother keeps a child safe, the earth also keeps its

organisms safe. Saving Mother Earth is everyone’s duty. We can start doing this by

taking small steps like segregating wet and dry waste, avoiding mining activities, re-
ducing plastic usage, planting trees, and stopping deforestation, etc.

Be watchful of our Mother Earth with care,

Because it’s a heavenly body I and you share;

Oh, Mother Earth, really we have destroyed you,

To save you, we have to think of things to do.

The Earth is crying because it has lost its green,

Let’s control the pollution to make her feel like a queen;a queen;

Say no to deforestation and plant a tree,

Because the Earth gives us everything for free.

Oh, Mother Earth, you illumine my gloominess,

With your energy, you transform my dullness;

Oh, Mother Earth, you restore my tiredness,

All your love just cures my illness.
