Guardian of the Green

by: Ms. Lilleta Gomes

Man, who loves the nature great,
Born with the heavenly light,
A smile that wakes the flowers of spring.
And lo! The winged creatures sing.
     For though sometimes seen in silence
     With not a word or murmur
     He's deep in thoughts to better the days
     of our young generation higher.
No earthly hope, but faith
Makes him the one and only man
Who strives with mind, so calm and meek,
To better our lives from day to day
     Even a dusty stone
     A glimpse of beauty he spies.
     For none foresees, what his mind would bring
     Unending fragrance everywhere.
Earth renders back from the vast land
Fulfills his dreams to come.
Grants his wishes, the echo wild
All throughout his saintly life.
