Tag: Spring
You Give Us
Oh Mother of Earth
on you we rely
Who cares for us
though you we try
When you break down
in rage we cry
Yet because of us
you live or die
–
Each year in Spring
is new life born
And with vibrant colors
the earth you adorn
When new green foliage
by trees are worn
It’s not the Winter
for which we mourn
–
Oh Mother, oh Mother
of Earth in all
The Winter, the Spring
the Summer and Fall
You care for us
both great and small
The return be done
by us one and all!
