The Pixie
A Poem for Angelique
“Run now, my little one.”
Her father said to her
“Touch every tree
And blade of grass
And make the forest stir.”
“Go swiftly now into the world
Touch water, Earth, and sky
And catch the very wind
Touch everything you ever can
Show every living thing
And teach all the reasons why.”
“We are all just a passing thought
That helps the world survive
And things we do
And what we make
All help us stay alive.”
“So, comfort the sick
And heal the weak
Put energy into all
And show that we have the power
No matter — Large or Small.”
“We are here for brief moments
A flash in cosmic time
So don’t delay another step
And do all that you can
To make the world a better place
To make Nature strong and fine.”
