Tuesday Poem - Me & The World

Me and you, together for now

You've been here a long while
I am a shiny new object

So to speak

I breathe your air

I walk on your ground

I eat your bounty

But what do I do for you?

Not much

I am so small

I try to be mindful

I try to teach my children

How to look after you

For although you'll last much longer than me

You will not last forever

I will be long gone when you falter

But I hope I gave you some joy

When it was just you and me
