I bless the Earth

 

I bless the earth

Where lies the seed

I bless the rain

Which wakes the seed

I bless the sun

That calls the seed to life

I bless the roots and leaves that feed the seedlings

I bless each plant 

Each  weed

Each blade of grass

That pierces through the darkened soil

I bless all plants within creation

That sustain us all

I bless the food

The flowers

The trees

That bring us the energy of life itself

I bless each stem

Each root

Each leaf 

And fruit 

I bless their struggle to survive 

The destructive forces of nature and man

I bless the ground in which they stand

May all that lives be tenderly blessed
