As I walk through the forest deep, and look beyond through the trees.<\/p>\n
As I watch the sunlight filter through the leaves,\u00a0 to give light through the darkness there, so I may see.<\/p>\n
Mother Earth,<\/p>\n
With every bloom,\u00a0 with greenery all around, I feel the softness of the grassy ground.<\/p>\n
I fall to my knees to hold the earth in my hands,\u00a0 to breathe in the beauty that surrounds me.<\/p>\n
I feel my heart beating as if I am one with the earth,\u00a0 and silently say say thank you Mother Earth.<\/p>\n
For the air I breathe the water I drink,\u00a0 and fire that burns inside my soul at night,\u00a0 and the beautiful earth on which I reside.<\/p>\n
As my heart fills with love and understanding of it all,\u00a0 even when I walk in the forest all alone,\u00a0 my Mother Earth is with me.<\/p>\n
On each and every journey I take she is within my heart and soul as I awake,\u00a0 to see the beauty of Mother Nature…<\/p>\n
