 A Beautiful Woman I Cannot Forget
I can still remember what she looked like, that beautiful face and that charming smile. I
recall when I dreamt of this extraordinarily beautiful woman, who stood before me and opened my
eyes to reality. While I was walking along the garden path, a woman appeared before me out of
nowhere. She suddenly held my hand and spoke to me gently…
She asked me, “Do you know me?”
And with hesitation, I replied, “Who are you?”
“I am your mother, your mother who cares for you very much. I raised you to be the young
boys and girls you are now. And I long for your care and love”.
I looked around if there were other boys and girls around, but there was no one there except
me. Why did she call me “boys and girls”? But then suddenly, I noticed unique things about her,
she was so beautiful with her green hair, as green as the fresh grasses on the hillside her blue eyes
twinkled as if they’re talking to me, much like the waves do when they come ashore. Her sun-
kissed skin was as refreshing as the damp soil and her red lips spoke with the love a mother would
give her children. I was really caught by this wild imagination. Then she finally spoke, “I am
Mother Earth”.
I stood still and then she asked me, “Do you believe in the saying, ‘Only a mother could
give her young the best care they need.’? It is I who could and would, provide you with only the
best and that is because I love you”.
“Why are you here?” I asked.
“I came here to awaken you, the people of the Earth. I want to remind you of your tasks as
caretakers of the Earth, and your responsibility towards your mother. I want you to make a change,
to make up for the things you have done, before it’s too late”.
And she added, “May I make a request?
“I’d like to see the fields green and abundant once more, the air crisp and fresh to breathe
and the waters as blue as the sky. I’d like to see the birds flying freely, the animals running across
the fields and the fishes governing the seas. I’d like to see the environment free from pollution,
from man’s abuses and irresponsibility. And with this, start to plant a seedling, water a plant, or
pick up trash. Start simply by saying, “I love Mother Earth!”

I suddenly woke up from sleep and said to myself, “What have I done lately to preserve
the environment? Have I done anything useful and worthy of my mother’s love?”
