I Give Respect

I give respect to mother earth in all her splendor and beauty,

I give respect to father sky in his changing seasons and bounty.

I give respect to the creator in wonderment to his creations,

I give respect to the animals roaming and their relations.

I give respect to the mineral kingdom in all their splendor,

I give respect to all living things upon this earth, surrender.

I give respect to my real mother and father above,

for creating me and teaching me to learn to love.

I give respect to all the birds that fly, from the eagle in the sky,

I give respect to my brothers and sisters whenever they ask why.

I give respect to my neighbors both far and so close to me,

I give respect to my extended family,where ever they be.

I give respect to the trees standing tall and strong,

I give respect to my enemies, there in my heart they belong.

I give respect to all those believers,who love God’s creation

I give respect to all who hear these words, we are one in realization

Inner Light

You must Turn on your inner light,

When you are in the darkness of the night.

Love as we know it, is like a blooming flower,

The more light you give it

the more it opens up to reveal its inner power
