Helping Mother

We're all Mother Earth's children, let's help her keep the house clean.

I

n families each child must learn to help
To keep things nice and tidy every day
It just won't do to sigh or moan or yelp
To squirm away from chores and only play

When we grow more mature we understand
That keeping house brings happiness and joy
It's actually something very grand
To live in tidy rooms we can enjoy

A mother cannot do it all alone
No matter how formidable she is
And just as when we helped our mom at home
We all should realize we're Nature’s kids


Our Mother Earth loves us with all her heart
And we in turn must try to do our part
