Our Land
Look at this land, which is our land
Look at yellow sand
And at my hand;
Isn’t it grand?
Inhale this land, which is our land
It smells of lavender and spice
Of sweat,
And grass,
And mothers’ milk.
Listen to this land, which is our land:
Tune into the sounds that are around,
Of running water,
And laughter,
And the wind rustling through the trees.
Feel this land, which is our land.
Experience the power of trust,
And the energy of sharing, and giving
Of celebration, and of life.
Cherish this land - this land which is our land:
It gives us so much.

I love the subject matter - very different and life affirming. It is good to read a poem that is as positive as this - and rare. x
