The Earth Once Called Me

 There was a time when I stood proudly as an environmental ambassador. But titles fade—what remains is the quiet love for this earth, still rooted deep in me. Today, I don’t wear a badge or speak at events, but my connection to nature hasn’t dimmed. It has simply softened—like moss, like morning light.

 I wore green not just on my sleeve,

but in every choice I made.

I walked slow, not to waste breath

but to notice where the grass sighed.

Once, I taught others to care,

to reuse, to plant, to listen.

Not for applause

but because the earth whispered

and I heard her clearly.

Even now, when no title names me,

I still pick up leaves gently.

I still speak for rivers in silence.

🌸 Closing Reflection

I wrote this not just as a memory, but as a quiet promise:

To keep living gently.

To notice more.

To honour the earth not only in speeches, but in silence.

Whether or not the world sees me as an ambassador, I will always walk this green path with love.
