In honor of Earth Day 2020

Dear Mother
forget not your children.
Help us to heal
you
as we heal ourselves.
Give us the wisdom
to realize
that we are indeed
all ONE.
Combine our actions
with our hearts
to make a global
positive difference.
Allow all beings
to be in accordance
with each other’s welfare.
Guide us in mindfulness
of the impact
we make.
Lighten our footprints
as we learn to
walk
gently with you.
Hold our hands,
dear Mother,
as we take these steps
of accountability.
Grant us the courage,
strength, faith and mercy
to follow your forgiveness
in creating a better world.
