A soft breeze rolls in from infinity
As I remember the joys of my childhood past
I see a toddler playing in a sandbox happily
As I recall a happiness which never did last

I see a sacred face among hundreds
Facing the fears of a new school
I see a wide grin as that same face
Now plays joyfully with his friends in a pool

I see a sad face as he sees
His childhood friends for a last time
I see a determined face in a classroom
Now striving to be the one who shines

I see a proud face now shaking
The hand of his principle accepting his award
I see a happy face now thanking
His lord and our god

As all these memories wash over me
I see my future goal
And like the petals of a flower which open up to the sun
I let my future unfold

The silent vibration
of the earth is within
my soul

The wind parts my hair
with its gentle fingers

The sun warms my skin
and bakes it to a golden brown

The rain washes away my
sinful habits

The birdsong fills me
with hope

I am redeemed in the world eyes

I am part of the dirt

The flora speaks to me
and I drink in the coolness
of dawn

The earth is mine
and I am grateful
