A Letter From Earth

Dear Friend,

When I was young I started my day on the East so I can welcome the warm embrace of the sunrise. The air was crisp, cool and smell so fresh. The fragrance of the green forest greeted me as the wind whispered in my body. The flowers were blooming with colors then and the butterflies roamed freely in the Babylonian gardens. The sky was so blue as if you can reach it with your hands.

Birds glided gracefully like angels sent from heaven and their sweet song echoed as it touches the mighty cliffs of the mountains. The rivers were clear as a mirror and its water was soft like a warm pillow. The school of fish danced gracefully underneath the picturesque beauty of the pacific sea. Its waves roared with joy as it touched the crystal shore. When the moon and the sun set above the ocean, the water twinkled like a diamond star.

These were the memories of my past, the past I missed so hard. Time has faded my beauty and others have abused my generosity. I gave shelter to mankind and nurtured his wildlife. I gave you food, clothing and medicine… but you gave me nothing. The billion of years that I took care of your generation have led to my slow destruction. I gave you everything my friend, but again, you gave me nothing. I am writing you today to say that I love you my dear friend. I am willing to share you everything and all that is left of what I have. So you can live happily with your family. I am willing to sacrifice my life for your survival …because I care for you.

Just like you my friend, I will soon grow old and die. Time of my death is still unknown but at this pace, I know in a short while it will be known. Honestly, I am scared to die, I am scared not to see your children grow and I will be hurt to leave this world I know. Do you really love me my friend? Then why don’t you take care of me like the way I’m taking care of you? I am dying… I need you to save me. You are my only last hope.

Love,

Mother Earth
