Grown from the land

In which she is planted

Rhododendron blossoms

And the world is enchanted

Fragrant perfume, she releases

With every bud that blooms

Mother Earth’s triumphant child

From her earthly womb

Perfection she has given

To what was only seed

Grown into a majesty

Her matriarchal deed

Happy Earth Day!!
