Nature, the Source of Life and Light
Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)
Nature, the ever-changing scene,
A canvas of hues and tones so green,
Of mountains high and valleys low,
Of streams that flow and oceans that glow.
The sun that rises with a golden glow,
And sets with hues that ebb and flow,
The moon that waxes and wanes,
And stars that twinkle like diamond chains.
The winds that whistle through the trees,
And rustle the leaves with gentle ease,
The rain that falls in droplets sweet,
And washes the earth with a rhythmic beat.
The birds that soar with wings so wide,
And sing a symphony in the skies,
The animals that roam on the land,
And frolic in the fields so grand.
Nature, the source of life and light,
A wonder that inspires and delights,
Let us cherish and preserve her grace,
And protect her from harm's embrace.
