Welcome Home (For my child written before he was born)

The sky is blue, a mesmerising blue
The grass is dark green, leaves light green
The water takes colour, of what falls on it
There is so much, I want to show you
In this Earth, that we are born to

Where you came from, I still can't answer
Where you will go, I cannot tell
But while here, I will show you
Of what God created, and what we know

There are huge mountains, there is brown earth
You can touch the dust, that created us
Walk on bare feet, as ancestors did
This mother patient, has borne us all

Given our food, provided shelter
Serving as bed, put her children to rest

There is the water, that immerses you in
Playful and cheery, with a gurgling grin
Can stick to you, yet not be held
You can consume, yet taste nothing

If there was nectar, water was it
I will bathe you, in its blessing and wealth

Then there is air, that you will breathe
Your first gulp defining, that you will live
And every deep breath, through heart and mind
Will throughout life, bring you a smile

And biggest of all, is the Sun God
Bright and golden, throughout the day
One look at it, and you will say
No matter what, I want to stay!
