Our Mother

I find it rather odd
That we would celebrate
The Mother and the Earth
On a different solar date

Both are really special
And deserve their separate days
But open up your eyes
And let me make the case

That the mother of us all
Is the world where we are living
The birthing place of life
Her force is truly giving

She's given us the signs
Sustaining us throughout
Could you try and give,
Equal love when you're in doubt?

Could you give her all your courage?
Could you give her time and love?
Could you be the sun and-
Shine a light from up above?

Could you be like Jupiter,
Protect her holy orbit?
Could you be the moon,
And keep her children in the truth?

She gives us what she can
And would give us so much more
If we only realized
That her trauma keeps the score

The wisdom in her pain
From years of our neglect
Has driven us insane
We know it's not correct

It's been too many years
She's cried too many tears
She doesn't want us to be anxious
But to conquer our fears
For fear leads to anger
Anger leads to hate
Hate leads to suffering
A deeply tragic state

But courage leads to grace
Grace leads to love
Love leads to peace
And that's why we have to cease
With the wars between our nations
And the fights inside our homes
She sustains us all regardless of,
Our race or chromosomes

She thrives on symbiosis
And not on deep neurosis
So gently help her heal
And let her truly feel

She really needs our help
We need to live our truth
I know I can do better
I know that you can too

So on this blessed Mother's Day
I hear a voice inside my heart
"To help our greater Mother Earth
Help YOUR mother as a start"
