Father God, Mother Earth

  • ○Here's a Poem I wrote a few years ago

     

     

     

    We are of our Father God, and of our Mother the Earth;
       made in their image, perfect and true.

    We are Children of the Sunrise -- each morning born anew.
    We are Children of the Sunset -- every evening descending, to rest in the Night.

    We are of the Soil and the Stars,
       of the Earth and of Heaven;
          every beast, bird, tree and stone-
          every rain drop and every tear.

    Each breadth and sigh,
         laughter and cry-
         every feeling, every touch.
         every sound and every silence.

    We are shepherded by the Light-
       and shepherds to all in the Shadow.

    I am as He made me-
    I am as She nurtured me.

    I am of my Father God, and of my Mother the Earth.
