Original Submission by Nedaa Zahid Khan

Our earth needs a FRIEND

Our earth needs a friend,

it can be someone big or small.

Just some who stays till the end,

it could be anyone at all!

A friend that loves the earth,

a friend that cares for the earth,

a friend that knows better than to litter,

that friend is the real winner.

When you look left and right, there’s dirt everywhere to be seen!

But when the earth has a friend, it is clean.

No more trash, no more dirt

Use your cash to save the earth!

Now, children, who could this friend be?

Could it be a butterfly, or is it a bee?

It is us, humans! The friend our earth needs.

Let’s make a promise to stay together, so forever, we keep our earth clean.
