Melvina Germain - (491) Passers-by

We are passers-by
In the wilderness of this earth.

Our bond, that of our children,
Our trust, that of the Lord.
Our forgiveness, that of inner strength.
Our friendships, held together by a fragile thread.
Our well-being stems from a good relationship with God.

We are minute in the scheme of things.
A rather obsorbent picture painted here on earth.
Our planet becoming infested with bacterial waste.
We, the human race blamed, for our part in this devistation.
We, the people must stand tall, reach and hold on to one
another, in the hopes that we will generate the strength
needed to protect our environment.

We are passers-by
in the wilderness of this earth.
