(Native American depiction of Mother Nature that hangs in my office.)As a beautiful sunny day dawns in the mountains, 8th grader Amelia Owens reminds us of the the Earth that graces us with this beauty.
WHO AM I?
Who am I?
I have blown through your hair
And I have touched your cheek.
Who am I?
I have shone on your face
And my tears run down your skin.
Who am I?
I have been in a vase on your dining room table.
You can see me out the window.
Who am I?
I am in everything
And you can find me everywhere.
Who am I?
I have nurtured you
and supplied everything for animals and mankind.
I have been your mother ever since forever.
Who am I?
I am Mother Nature.

Lovely simplicity! Amelia is wise beyond her years -- or maybe we all start out with this knowledge and forget it along the way...
Give our congratulations to Amelia and her other talented poet schoolmates at the Macon school. I love the idea of posting this series on your blog and am impressed by what these budding young poets are capable of giving us.
Well done, Amelia! It pairs perfectly with your Mother Nature image, Kay.
