Dear God, please bless this foolish child Who mourns the loss of strangers, wild animals, and nature Who prays for peace but does not have the strength to stand up for it Who wishes to know everything but cannot read Who weeps because life is crueler than death

Foolish Child
To be a tree I would be tall and mighty I would provide food for the beings of nature: The insects, the birds, the rodents, the fungi I would provide them shelter: A home for families of squirrels, birds, and owls And when my leaves would fall in the cold I would give the insects and the rodents shelter, A place to rest in the leaf litter And I will give the soil nutrients Kids would try to climb my branches High enough to reach the sky Though I wouldn't let them Maybe one day I will be met with someone who's soul is with nature Her heart would be full of Forests, plains and meadows, and mountains She would treat me like a being, Embrace me and climb to the sky And when the wind blows through my leaves I would whisper to her The tales of the past, Of the beginnings of Earth

The moon is full tonight It shines brighter than the street lamps Brighter than the stars However, the light in you Was brighter

I've had months But the tears are still there You've been gone for a while But I still expect you to be here

Practice makes perfect Is what they say But what if I'm not perfect And mess up everyday

There is no land beneath my feet I'm sinking in the ocean deep

Sometimes I think about how I give my heart to others. That one day they will shatter it. And I will shatter as well

Shattering Heart
As the sun set low beyond the horizon It set the trees ablaze their red leaves lit up like fire But as the sun continued to fall The warmth left And in its place The cold, dark night arose
