We Give Away Our Thanks to The Earth

We Give Our Thanks to the Earth...

We give away our thanks to the earth

For giving us our homes

We give away our thanks to the trees

For giving us fruits and nuts

We give away our thanks to the sun

For giving warmth and light

We give away our thanks to the wind

That brings rain to water the plants

All beings on earth

The trees the animals the wind and water give away

To one another so all is in balance

We give away our promise to being to learn

How to stay in balance with all of earth.

-- Dolores LaChapelle, Earth Prayers from Around the World
