Oh earth of sustainability

You amaze me 

Why not give back to the one who gives for free? 

I compost my scraps 

Retain my containers of glass 


I sleep in your airy breeze- 

free, no AC 

My footprints hug your soil 

In the gardens I toil 


Your fruits of labor bear nutrition 

Resources of your altruism
