I am happy when my feet touch the ground,

I breathe deep as I walk the lands of my day,

I give thanks with each slow step that I take,

my feet are eager when they feel the strength of mother earth,

she is kind and generous with bountiful gifts,

I am happy when my feet stroll and glide

across her gentle back,

she is my foundation,

my elegant mother

with skies of blue

and clouds of white

adorning her face.

Oh mother earth thank you

for the blessings

you shower on us,

teach us, teach us, 

we beseech you,

teach us 

to nourish life

for everyone and everything.
