I Am The Earth

Earth Day     By Jane Yolen

I am the Earth and the Earth is me

Each blade of grass

Each honey tree

Each bit of mud

And stick

 

And stone

Is blood and muscle, skin and bone.

 

 

And just as I

Need every bit

Of me to make

My body fit,

 

So Earth needs 

Soil

Water

 

And tree

And things that grow here

Naturally

 

I am the Earth and the Earth is me.
