In deep slumber was I under the earth
I was awakened by the touch of your warmth
I opened my eyes,
my first leaves
Then I grew
my branches towards you
You stay so far away, yet
your rays illuminate the earth
My life is intermingled with you
No life on this earth will sustain without you
Even in darkness I preserve the light
that you gifted me when you were around me
My green leaves
cook for the whole world with your energy
My earth revolves around you
You are the creator of Day and Night
You are the cause of all seasons
You are Hope, You are Love
You are Wisdom and a blessing of God.
