Love Mother Earth
Love Planet Earth
Our mother.
Clay, loam, sand
And from tangled roots
I arise to honor sun and sky
With many galaxies.
As flowers flame upward.
For we are of the same
Earth substances that fell
In different combinations
Yet we are more.
I raise my arm in praise
Toward mountain, sun
And
mysterious galaxies.
I
embrace with my left arm
Mother Earth below with its
Diamonds rubies and all precious stones
So there I shall someday return
My body below
And my soul to Heaven above.
--Barbara Spring
