Joyful Earth

The wind that blows so briskly by and the birds that chirp so loud and high
The waves in the ocean that crash on down are the noises we hear all around,
If you open your eyes you will clearly see,
that the earth we live in is wild and free,
its a magical land most loved and cared,
with all the people on earth we share,
the deserts the oceans the big blue sky,
seeing birds flying high and feel the sun passing by,
from whales as big as the biggest bus,
to insects as small as a speck of dust,
rainbows of colour that grace the skys
with clouds to make pictures from our very own eyes,
life to refresh and relax the mind,
giving love and abundance to all of mankind...
