MOTHER EARTH

5-13-2007=18

In a year that sums to nine,
A number cherished and divine,
Mother’s Day,
It can be seen,
Falls on Sunday, May thirteen,
Which, of course,
Is another nine
And makes this day
Especially fine.
The total,
Number eighteen, or chai,
Means life on our planet,
And now I know why:
It’s our reason for living on good mother earth.
So let us be grateful,
Protect her and love her.
Let’s celebrate her
For all she is worth.
