CONNECTED TO OUR MOTHERIf you understand Nature,
The deer will eat from your hand.
The sun makes the plants,
Animals eat the plants,
The humans eat the animals,
and Earth needs the humans to take care of it.
So you see, as you stare
into the endless sky,
we live from our Mother Gaia's birth,
and if you understand Nature,
The deer will eat from your hand.
And we all, plants, animals, humans,
are children of the Earth.- Maria Domeier,gr. 5, Red Wing Burnside El.

It seems they are born with that connection, and then we bully it out of them... Lisa :-]
Now that is a wise young lady who needs to be a writer when she grows up.
5th Grade? Wow!

A girl in my theater and cultures class mentioned the hilarious-ness of "googling" yourself. I did not expect to actually find a "blast from the past" like this. I wrote this almost 9 and a half years ago in class when we had a poet in residence visit, encouraging our creative abilities. The girl (me) who wrote this silly poem is now 21..... and I still feel the same way, yet I don't know if I could express it so articulately and not be laughed at.... ;)
