Mothers and Fathers
My Father is of the ocean
My Mother is of the shore
And I see me sometimes in the salt brine
And the surfs pounding roar.
My Father is of the river
My Mother is of the wood
And I see me sometimes
In the very same place where they stood.
My Father is of the prairie
My Mother of prairie too
And I see me sometimes
In the sunshine and the sky broad and blue.
My Father is of the grasslands
My Mother is of the hills
And I see me sometimes
In the tall pines where a tiny bird trills.
My Father is of the mountains
My Mother is of the sea
And I see me sometimes
In the sunset where a birds’ flying free!
