What would I be?

What would I be without you?
You are all around me.
And I am so happy you are.

Without you I could not exist.
I could not breathe the air that I need.
I could not drink the water that I need.
I could not have the food that I need.

No-one can exist without you.
Everybody needs air, water and food.

The more I think about you,
the more I respect and care about you.
I feel so sorry that many people
just do not care or even notice.

You are all around them.
You are the very essence.
Without you we are nothing.

Religions have many books
about a distant and mysterious God.
I wonder why they do not defend
you more wherever and always.

You are Nature and if there is a God,
He certainly will want you to be protected.
