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

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

Your hypocrisy is no surprise
you choose to close your mind
than open your eyes

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
