THE WORLD WE TAKE FOR GRANTED

Additional Prompt:  THE WORLD WE TAKE FOR GRANTED What if tomorrow the Earth stood still, And silence replaced every heartbeat and hill? The oceans would move, the winds would rage, And we'd suddenly see what we'd taken for granted. What if the sunlight became too strong, And the darkness stayed where it didn't belong? What if the forests, the rivers, the rain Were memories we could never see again? Don't wait until the world is gone, To realize how beautiful it was. Cherish the Earth, cherish the sky, Cherish the miracle of being alive. The air we breathe, the light we see, The people we love, the wild and the sea. We have this moment, we have this home— Don't take this precious world for granted. Every sunrise is a gift we receive, Every living thing has a reason to breathe. The mountains, the oceans, the birds in flight, The stars that appear in the quiet of night. We don't need to lose it To understand its worth.
