Mother Earth's Child
The sky was bluer because you stood beneath it.
The air was sweeter because you breathed it.
Passing Clouds paused over your head, just to gaze down at you.
The grass you walked on grew higher, trying to touch you,
As the trees sighed with longing when you passed.
Ocean was your lover, and she danced with joy at the gifts you brought her.
The Wind blew you kisses while the Sun sent you light for your path and
warmth for your soul.
The light of a billion Stars shone at night to keep you company
And Moon, beautiful Moon, held you in her arms, keeping you safe while
you dreamed a thousand dreams.
Mother Earth now holds you in her forever embrace, her favorite son, come home at last.
