Hi John,
Happy Valentine's Day! I wanted to take a moment to share how much I love having you here with us—protecting wildlife and nature for future generations. You are the heart of WWF!
This year, we asked our supporters to explore poetry to express admiration for nature and wildlife, and – wow! – did our community deliver. It was so difficult to select a handful of these poems to share, but I'm eager to share some of the amazing entries we received. Thank you to everyone who participated. |

Take me to the Mountains Close your eyes and feel the crisp, cool air Listen as the wind rustles the leaves Breathe in the freedom of the outdoors Take a moment to consider your blessings Look around and truly take note Every color, smell and sound The mountains are calling How will you answer?

Nature my Love Nature my Love, without you my life would be dull and lifeless. I need your warm embrace, your uplifting manner, your encouragement to persevere. I want to see you, feel you, breathe you. You are my light, my hope, my future, my everything. Without you - I am nothing. Because you are me, and I am you. Now and Forever.

Flight of Shining Feathers A bird Almost seems black at first Just for a moment And then Feathers dotted with golden, brown, orange Perched on a low branch outside of everything Glowing in the sun like a thousand jewels Just for a moment And then Open wings Flight Into the blinding sun
