You gave us the earth.

You gave me the earth
and you taught me to learn.
As I grew in gerth
your heavens I yearn.

It hurt me without
You healed me within.
The deeper I saw
the more air grew thin.

The animals small
the forests a target.
For some its their all
while others - for market.

Snow covers the ground
though wars are forgotten
the gales grow profound
but man is still smitten.
