This Precious Planet Called Earth! Poem by Denis Martindale

This Earth's much more than common dirt... a man holds in his hands...
It has the power to help or hurt... as God above commands...
For Earth remains His golden globe... the apple of His eye...
Where prayers ascend once borne of hope... from little hearts to fly...
Despite the terrors Earth has known... the Earth still spins in space...
Depending on the Lord alone... and His amazing grace...
A remnant lives where others lived... with their lives fully spent...
For mortal life's a short-lived gift... a journey Heaven-sent...

From dust we came, to dust we go... yet spirits still endure...
My spirit prays today, I know... yet prays forevermore...
I owe this Earth the food I ate... the animals and plants...
And any life that I create... if love finds me, perchance...
The house I'm in was built on ground... and all that's stored beneath...
And all the tools that Man has found... instilled in him belief...
That God sustained the house and land... that God made me a home...
Upon this Earth the Lord had planned... wherever it may roam...

So closer still towards the Sun... the Earth must journey on...
A warmer place for everyone... till Summer's come and gone...
Winds blow each leaf now golden brown... as Autumn starts to chill...
Some weary people start to frown... yet Christmas brings its thrill...
For here, on Earth, our Lord was born... the Saviour of Mankind...
When silver angels sang that morn... to bring God's truths to mind...
That's why this Earth stays truly blessed... beyond the suns and stars...
Beyond the planets some think best... like Jupiter and Mars...

Take heed, take note, you Universe... God favours planet Earth...
Where Virgin Mary first gave nurse... to Christ, upon His birth!
