I came across this poem by chance, which of course means that is was meant to be. Thank you Divine Mother for sending me everything I need, at all times, whether I'm looking or not.
Mother Earth Prayer
by KiiskeeN'tum
Mother Earth hear your child,
As I sit here on your lap of grass,
I listen to the echoes of your voice
In my brother, the Wind,
As he blows from all corners and directions.
The soft and gentle raindrops
are the Tears you cry
for your children
Teach me the Lessons you offer:
To nurture my children,
as you nurture yours,
To learn the Lessons of the Four Kingdoms,
that make up this World of Physical Things,
and To Learn to Walk the Path chosen so long ago.
Mother Earth,
hear your child,
Be a bond between the Worlds of Earth and Spirit.
Let the Winds
echo
the Knowledge of the Grandfathers.
Who await,
unseen,
yet visible
if I only turn my eyes to their World.
Let me hear their Voices,
in the Winds that Blow
to the East.
From the East: I seek the Lessons of Childhood:
To see with the trusting innocence of a small one,
The Lessons of Spirit, Given in Love by our Creator.
From the South: to Learn the Ways of Questioning:
The Fire and Independence of adolescence,
The Truths, and how they help us Grow along this Path.
From the West: where the Grandfathers teach us Acceptance of Responsibility
That come during the years of Marriage and Family.
That my own children grow Strong, and True.
From the North: where the Elders, who by their long lives
Have learned and stored Wisdom and Knowledge.
And Learned to Walk in Balance and Harmony with our Mother, the Earth.
Mother Earth, hear your child.
Hold my hand as I Walk my Path in this World.
Guide me to the Lessons I seek,
bring me closer to Our Creator,
Until I return to the Western Direction,
to once again
Enter the World of Spirit,
Where the Sacred Fire Awaits,
and I rejoin the Council of the Elders,
In the Presence of the One Who-Created-All.
