I WISH I HAD YOU BY MY SIDE

I wish I had you by my side.

I wish I had you by my side

Every time I think about you

Every time I feel that empty gap in my heart,

Every time I need a person to just listen

I wish I had you by my side

When I need a shoulder to cry on

When I need a person to share my experiences

When I feel left out form the constant buzz of this world

I wish I had by my side

this moment

because I don't know what I'd do without you

(From when I was 5yrs old this is the only constant wish I've never been able to fulfil. Then I wanted my parents and sister now that I have them with me always I've started wanting the people I've become attached to at the different phases of my life. My friends, teachers and maybe patience too!!)

EARTH DAY '24 - THE FACTS

It's 2024 and Global temperatures are rising at an alarming rate . The average surface temperature has increased almost 1.5°C (about 2.5°F) . The loss of biodiversity disrupts entire ecosystems, impacting everything from clean water to food chains. 58% of the global population, or 3.8 billion people face water scarcity and we should question the loss of biodiversity in another post, as the list is longer than ours! Thanks to our ignorance of other residents we share our planet with ! The oceans are not giant trash cans! 88% of water is filled with plastics. We are at the situation of consuming air polluted at 53.3 micrograms per cubic meter. Now I'm not surprised 544.9 million people in the world face breathing issues! Deforestation, desertification, and other forms of land degradation are reducing the Earth's land productivity. 1.83 billion trees are planted every year, while 15.3 billion are cut down due to human activity. This means that one tree is planted for...

A green shadow

In the midst of emerald fields, Where nature's beauty never yields, Lies a shadow, deep and green, A sight that's rarely seen. It dances among the trees, Whispering secrets on the breeze, A cloak of verdant hue, A symbol of life anew. It stretches across the land, A guardian, strong and grand, Protecting all that lies beneath, From the harshness of the heat. It's a reminder of the earth's embrace, A symbol of its endless grace, For without this green shadow, Our world would surely fallow. It's a haven for creatures small, A shelter for them all, A place to rest and hide, From the scorching sun outside. But this shadow is more than just a shield, It's a symbol of life, forever sealed, For without the greenery it holds, Our world would be barren and cold. So let us cherish this green shadow, For it's a gift from nature, we must know, A reminder of the earth's might, And the beauty of its green light. - Bharathi Senthilkumar
