**Loving the World**
In the quiet of dawn,
When dew-kissed petals unfold,
I find solace in the whispers of leaves,
And the ancient stories they hold.
The sun, a golden witness,
Paints the sky with hues divine,
As rivers weave their silver threads,
Binding earth and time.
Mountains stand as sentinels,
Their rugged strength unwavering,
A testament to resilience,
And the beauty of enduring.
I love the world in fragrant blooms,
In the laughter of children at play,
In the dance of fireflies,
And the secrets whispered by the bay.
The moon, a silver lantern,
Guides lovers through the night,
And constellations map our dreams,
Stitching hope with stardust light.
I love the world in every season,
In snowflakes' delicate descent,
In the warmth of summer's embrace,
And autumn's fiery lament.
For every blade of grass,
Every raindrop's tender kiss,
Is a love letter from the universe,
A reminder of our shared bliss.
So let us love the world fiercely,
With open hearts and eyes aglow,
For in this vast and wondrous tapestry,
Our souls find their eternal home.
