Teach Me Earth
By Emma Campbell

Earth teach me self respect
As a mother bird in a storm feeding her young ones.
Earth teach me love
As a mother and father chimpanzee raising their young.
Earth teach me respect
As the mighty lion who roars into the sky.
Earth teach me kindness
As the tall tree which provides for all.
Earth teach me trust
As the deer who drinks from the stream.
Earth teach me acceptance
As the newcomer of a wolf pack is welcomed.
Earth teach me...
