DISAPPEARING FACES

Disappearing faces, Disappearing places

What a disgrace this is, Wonder who's to blame

Disappearing faces, Soon there'll be no traces

Only empty spaces, We should be ashamed

Everybody's busy, just gettin' by these days

It's easy not to notice, the things that are slipping away

And maybe we don't fully realize

How important some things really are

But when they're gone forever

We'll know we've gone too far

Nature's full of wonders, and awesome sights to see

A graceful Florida Panther, a swimming Manatee

But when the Panther doesn't answer

And the Manatee's a memory

Too late we'll finally realize

What they meant to you and me

The list keeps right on grow'n, the natural scheme of things

Is need'n our attention, you can almost hear their screams

They're all in danger of extinction now

And only you and me can right the wrong

If you're wonder'n who's in danger

Here's some names to ponder on

The Florida Panther, The Manatee, 

The Loggerhead Sea Turtle,

The Gopher Tortoise, 

The Red Cockaded Woodpecker, etc

The list goes on and on

If we don't get it together

It'll all be gone

     Can you imagine a world with no animals?  No rabbits, raccoons, squirrels, or giraffes? No Elephants, no deer, no bears, or no chimpanzees to make us laugh?  Can you imagine that?  How about a world with no flowers, or bushes, or trees?  Would you miss them?   

     Sure, you would.  And so, would I. The wonders and the beauty of God's Creation on this earth are well worth saving.  A world without them would be a sad world indeed! Not only do they make the world beautiful, but all the animals, and all the plants are bonified and hard loyal and working members of nature's team.  The result of their combined efforts is what made the earth, and keeps the earth like it is, so we can live on it!   

      Not only would we truly miss all those things but BELIEVE IT OR NOT all those things in nature are responsible for keeping the air pure for us to breathe, the soil fertile so we can grow food, and the water safe to drink or bath in!

     The list of the threatened and endangered species at the hands of the human race is growing by leaps and bounds. To me it is sad that so few people are even aware of what is happening right under our very noses. It is more important now than ever in our history that we humans know more about the facts of the environmental plight of the earth today. Before it becomes too late!
