Metamorphosis
Cocoon closeted,
New me emerged, emboldened.
Flying, full coloured.
Yes to life
Earth’s bounty free.
Destroyed, greed of you and me.
Restore to beauty.
Simple lives will give
All nature a chance to live.
Spare us and forgive.
“Yes to life!” we say.
Care for Creation today.
Heal our land, we pray.
