Shining as a lantern
Against the shimm`ring stars
Beautiful in splendour
With Venus and with Mars
She glides across the heavens
Beneath a starlit dome
A jewel in the universe
This place which is our home
And `pon her lovely aspect
Shines bright the dazzling sun
Whose benediction granted
The life that had begun
Her verdant land then nurtured
Her seas thus torn apart
All living things created –
For each a beating heart
How lovely is this planet
This piece of rock in space
A haven for all creatures
Our beauteous dwelling place
Hi Valerie,
Love your poems, always have, hope you are well.
