From a distance: <br />East, South, West, and North <br />Surrounded and maintains balance <br />going forth. <br /> <br />Upon mother earth: <br />Supported and nourished everyone <br />and merits each one's respect <br /> <br />Under Sun god: <br />Your light shines and gives light, <br />Warms, and embraces lovingly <br /> <br />Surrounded by wind: <br />Sometime blows strong, sometimes <br />A gentle caress from your breeze <br /> <br />With water: <br />That sustains all life form <br />That all know not thirst <br /> <br />Under moon and stars: <br />Illuminates the earth, and <br />Forever watches over your clan <br /> <br />Be in harmony <br />with selves, forever <br />Strolling in your beauty! <br /> <br />[ In honor of my late mother on 'Mother's Day' May 9,2010] <br /> <br />April 22,2010<br /><br />Almedia Knight Oliver<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/she-walked-in-beauty/
