Sample
Eulogy
Eulogy for Mother Nature
Before I came to exist, Mother
Nature took care of my
descendants' needs. This I know
because in every family
reunion, we talk
about her. Even in her demise,
we still talk about her.
Life on earth had been wonderful with what Mother
Nature had given us. Instead of us nurturing her,
she gave us life. She made sure that when I open
my eyes every morning, I can see her beauty even
in a gloomy weather.
 As a child, I climbed the tree she allowed to grow in our
backyard. The animals had their habitat. Growing up, she
directed the path for my father and I to the mountains. We
climbed together. My father had a great time with his
daughter showing her the abundant forests, and from the
peak of the mountain, her beauty beyond words. She
gave joy to my mother every time the flowers bloom, be it
summer or autumn.
 Our Creator is not only good and faithful. He is wise to create
Mother Nature first before man. But what did man do? We think
that it is the Nature's responsibility to take care of us until our
death. We abuse her. She was silent. But not for long, for she
could not allow us to destroy her for the sake of our
grandchildren, and their grandchildren. She fought back with
flash floods, landslides, forest fires, the climate change. But
these she did to open our eyes and to protect the future
generation.
She was the most amazing creation next to man. But without
her, our existence is no more.

If the Creator will give us another Mother Nature, it will be

our turn guard and protect her.

Mother Nature, thank you for nurturing us. With your death,
soon ours will follow. Goodbye.
 Eulogy For Mother Earth
The Earth is the only planet that has
living things. The planet which
humans, animals and plants meet.
The humans are the one who takes
care of the planet. But we are the
one who destroyed mother Earth. We
are reckless and careless of what we
do.
 People nowadays often throw garbage anywhere that that leads
to flooding. We're sorry mother Earth. We are the one who killed you.
Many people uses dynamite for fishing that leads to coral reef
destruction. We're sorry mother Earth. We are the ones who killed you.
Too many vehicles around that world that lead to air pollution. We're
sorry mother Earth. We are the one who destroyed you. Illegal loggers
cut down trees without permission of the government that leads to
global warming and deforestation. We're sorry mother Earth. We are the
one who destroyed you.
Too many issues of destroying our nature. Thank
you mother Earth. Thank you for everything.
Thanks for the memories. When the day that you
are completely gone comes, we are going
nowhere.
