Earth Day

by Leigh Giza

Mother, Earth
Today is your day
All who come from you
Have need to honor you
Without you we cease to be
We are only seeds that never open
We look in a mirror and see ourselves
When in reality we are your reflections
For you are in everything we see and do
Our mother, our creator, you give us our lives
Without asking us to give you anything in return
Today, we celebrate your limitless love for each of us
We pay tribute to you, our mother, made from soil and sky
