Earth and Water
I am filled with life-giving properties.
Without these minerals, life would not exist.
I am a natural depository for gold and silver.
I am hard; I am soft; I am rough; I am smooth.
I am continents, oceans, seas, rivers, and lakes.
I am hot; I am cold; I am old; I am EARTH.
Like humans, I consist of many parts, but
The most visible components are land and water.
The moon revolves around me, and if the moon
were closer to me, I would freeze.
I revolve around the sun, and if I were
closer to the sun, I would burn up.
I am not complete without WATER.
Actually, I consist mostly of WATER.
I and WATER have learned to get along.
Like humans, we must live together or die apart.
When humans drop a seed or plant inside of me,
If they are to live, grow, and thrive, I call upon WATER
to help me. Otherwise, both the plant and seed would die.
