Element Earth Gaia's Gift
I stand here looking out across the land
At sun kissed pineapple plants row by row.
Green tops on red earth outwardly expand.
Rich volcanic soil filtered throughout time
Has grown many harvests of sugarcane;
Papayas, lychee, and mangos sublime.
These islands are a melting pot of souls
Who love to surf and swim in waltzing waves,
Laze in lagoons protected by sea shoals.
Steep sweeping mountains overlook the sea
With climbing trials that lead up to hill tops,
As Earth gives birth to every plant and tree.
From precious gems and metals that abound,
To minerals and herbs to make us well,
We are blessed by Earth's bounty from the ground.
Rising Earth began with islands, you know?
As steaming lava flows toward the sea,
Hawaiians feel honor watching Earth grow.
