Oh Lord, I saw the earth today,
and all my thoughts, I paused to weigh.
Quiet and vast, this great expanse,
how small, how lone, my human stance.
As I view these acres of land,
and seek to find of me, the am.
With hand I touched the earth to skin,
still there, the love which dwells in kin.
Bits of wisdom, from those who were,
their hopes and dreams, myself, I'm sure.
Was long ago they worked this land,
was here today, I held those hands.
