We Are 'The Earth' Is Us Poem by Heather Milks

And when the winter days are gone
and summer comes all new
I promise to remember
all the time I spent with you

The earth is like our lives in that
It changes and it grows
We are like the earth in that
we never stop our flow

We live
We laugh
We love
We learn

The earth nourishes us
and when we are at our end
we return to the earth
and make our resting place fertile.

As my heart is yours in this moment
be assured it will be also
when I am placed back in our earth to rest
untill my love will follow.
