Mother Earth her nurture in blessings known
Embraced by the warming sun
By vistas of light majestic
The moon, the stars and galaxies afar
Mother Earth her flowing waters
Streams, rivers, oceans, seas
Mountains, valleys, fields of grace
Bounty and beauty, within our hearts to place
In revelations and callings devine
Her Spirit ever in present time
The NOW of her wondrous gifts she to give
And WE nourished by Her will to live.
