Always Remember

Always Remember

...to the Earth you belong.

River says,
cry me
into existence.

Tree says,
stand tall
and go deep.

Mountain says,
rise up
and be broken down.

Sun says,
burn, baby burn,
all day long.

Moon says,
sleep child, sleep,
the sun's done gone.

Little bird says
be happy,
sing a love song.

Worm says,
always remember,
to the Earth you belong.

---

Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head
with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
~ Langston Hughes
