What a glorious day To celebrate the grandeur of Terra. The little blue planet, set in The Sol System in the Milky Way Galaxy.

A day for trees to be planted. A day to celebrate life. People may litter a little less If only for twenty-four hours.

On this one day the most We think of our fine little world We consider all she could be And the beauty we want to see on her.

Our children will inherit her And their children, and on and on. For Earth helps us think of how to help her Our beautiful, fragile, little, blue Terra. Hocus Pocus, Alakazam
