Mother Earth
When we were young
We were connected to mother earth
We listened to her
We walked with her and held her hand
We delighted in her
She was everything to us
And we loved her with all our heart
Then we grew older
We stopped listening to her
We thought we knew everything
And we rejected her wisdom
We did what we wanted to do
We disconnected
Now it is time to grow up
To come back home
And reconnect to our mother earth
To listen to her
And care for her as she has cared for us
To love her with all our heart
There is only so much time left for us to do this
Before we lose her forever
We are lucky
Because our mother is still here
And she has been waiting for us
