The visionary child

Upon a distant star

Somewhere far away

A girl in a dusty nightgown

Clasped her hands to pray

She dreamt of a summer day

To warm a frosted heart

Of a forest lush with greenery

In a world so far apart

Her eyes like that of a doe

Innocent like a newborn babe

Her vision took flight

In an unexpected way

They turned her body to ashes

Lit a fire so bright

In hopes to chase away the darkness

Of their cold winters night

She was not seen as significant

Her life of little worth

Yet someone heard her plea

Her name was mother earth

Some thousand years later

A little girl grew up all alone

Standing in that same spot

She knew she had come home.
