The land knows you, even when you are lost.
It remembers your first steps and cushioned your fall
It guided you to cool waters on a warm day as you dipped your toes in
And pointed you to the bluest skies when your kite wished to soar.
It shared its pathways when the hard times sent you to wander
And when the calling of nature’s beauty beckoned you to explore.
When life’s ever-changing ways were confusing
It boasted its resiliency to change and kept you strong and determined
Just as the trees blossom and brown and blossom once more.
When your lost, reach out to the land, it knows you, it’s been with you
It will comfort you, guide you and always be a reminder
That you are of the earth, they sky, the land; always and forever.
A gentle and moving reminder of our relationship with the land – and of how it is such a constant in our lives. Beautiful!
