Thank you...

Thank you, my son, for the light you bring, For laughter that dances, for joy that sings. Your smile a beacon, so pure and so bright, Filling my Heart with endless delight. Thank you for moments both big and small, For teaching me love is the greatest of all. Through your eyes, I see the world anew, A gift beyond measure I’m blessed with you. For your kindness, your courage, your tender heart, Know that of me you’re the best part. Thank you, my son, for simply being, You are my love, my souls true meaning.

Thank you...

Your carpet covers the stone beneath us/ All one hundred billion acres of you/ Your weight pulls us down from the sky/ All seven hundred trillion tons of you/ This planet could be all about you/ But, it isn’t./ / The trees sprout from your back/ And the grass hides your face/ You secret away the seeds/ And give the animals refuge beneath/ The world above breathes deeply with the life you support/ So, this could be a poem to sing all their praises,/ But, it isn’t.

Thank you...

Thank you, Sun./ You color my life,/ My skin sizzles and browns as I sit under you like a sponge,/ soaking in your warmth./ You bring joy and smiles to those around me./ You tell me to go outside./ To be in your warmth,/ That you will get me through my many gloomy days./ Thank you, Sun.

Thank you, ocean You ground me and bring me peace as I float, Everyone gathers and listens as you crash, You connect us all on Earth and make us one, Your rough and grainy sand smooths and shapes the shells within you, You are home to curious creatures and provide us all with serenity.

Thank You, Leaves Thank you, leaves for providing shade in the summer. Thank you, leaves for providing pretty colors in the fall. Thank you, leaves for being a soft foundation for snow in the window. Thank you, leaves for blooming in the spring. Thank you, leaves for showing me that change is not always a bad thing.

Thank you, Spiderweb Your marvelous beauty entices me. It is not an easy task, creating a masterpiece, a home, a nest, a way to provide. I see your hard work, it does not go unnoticed. So thank you, spiderweb, for sharing your delicate wonders with me.

Thank you...

To the tall stones, / Carved by time before mine / you tower above me. / Cradling me to your ancient cheek, / imperfect, your face pocked and scarred. / My own face, staring back. / To linger below you, / I sink into matronly embrace, / and whisper "thank you."

Thank you, Grass Thank you for your endless green sea, a beautiful carpet for my feet, so soft and gentle, flowing in the breeze A wonderful place to picnic, or lay and absorb nature's beauty, the ground for me to touch, and reconnect with nature Thank you for the way you grow, Grass you are a humble thing, as vital as the air we breathe, always looking out and providing for me, Thank you Grass!

Thank you, trees for your steadfast grace. Rooted in one enduring place. Through sun and storms, you calmly stand. A quiet witness to the land. Your branches stretch with patient might, reaching slowly to the light. You teach me growth takes time and care, that strength is built by simply being there.

Thank you...

I have always been afraid of change. / But you, leaf, show me that change is natural. / You show me the red blush of my cheeks / The orange of my hair / The yellow guidance in Autumn. / In Summer and Spring, you guide me with flutters of green filling the air / You leave me with wonder when you seem to abandon me in the Winter / Yet, you always come back to me. / You show me that change won’t always be a permanent punishment. / I am thankful for change, but most importantly, I am thankful for you, leaf.

Thank you, bird, / for singing in the morning. / When everything is cold and grey, / you sound excited for the day. / You are always there to make a sound, / to sing a song for me. / Summer, fall, winter, spring, / it doesn't matter when. / Thank you, bird. / I thank you when you sing.

Thank you...

Thank you, leaves for showing us all your colors, whether you were ready or not. For taking a leap, not knowing how it will end. For always coming back, even if you were trampled on. For riding the wind, regardless of its direction. And for being so much more than a leaf ever knew it could be.

Thank you tree, For helping me breath When I look around you, I never want to leave. You stand so tall, And I love watching the animals use your branches to crawl. You make the earth go round And in my little town, you make it less bare. I love to sit there and stare, Thank you tree for helping me be me.

Thank you...

Thank you Fall / The leaves tumble down / The crisp of the air / Oh, how I love you so/ The change of the color/ The dance of the leaves/ Oh, how I love you so / The days become shorter/ The nights become longer/ The beauty of the stars shine bright/ What a beautiful sight/ Oh how much I love you so/ Thank you Fall /

Thank you...

'come inside when the street lights come on!'/ my scraped up knees and hand-me-downs on/ four square, creek walking, or sidewalk chalk/ under the sun my siblings would talk./ Talk about where we would go for the day, a different world between April and May/ imagination ran wild deciding what to play/ too much to do, or be, or say/ in the short, short time of one single day./ childlike wonder now turned to gray/ for those years in paradise I owe gratitude/ so thank you, Sun for the days spent with you

Thank you, Leaf Leaf, leaf you bring soul to me. As your bright colors shine through, showing the life within you. I am forever grateful for all you do, because of you I am me too.


Thank you...

Thank you, leaves./ In shades of red, orange, and brown./ Gracefully you drift, gliding on the wind,/ Softly landing upon the ground./ Your crunch beneath our feet,/ The crackle as you settle in,/ Oh, leaves, you make the fall season so/ beautiful.

Thank you...

Thank you, maple tree, so tall and wise, amber leaves that kiss the skies. Your branches stretch, so strong and free, a shelter for the birds and me. In summer's heat, you give us shade, and in the fall, your colors fade. Leaves fall when they dance in the breeze. Thank you, maple, for your ease.

Austin

Thank you...

Wind, you send a breeze that brings movement to the trees. You blow through my hair and with you, you take all my worries or cares. You push air into my lungs and allow me to breathe and be unstrung. You show me what it's like to be free and tell me everything will be alright and to just be me. Thank you wind for keeping it real. Thank you wind for helping me feel.

Hannah Dye

Thank you...

Thank you for the morning sun that awakes my day. For the gentle streams were fish go to play. For the whispering winds and the pink sky's that amaze me with every sight. For the hills and meadows, wide and strong. For Natures gifts, both vast and small, you have blessed me everyday, with this grateful gift.

Thank you creation!/ Thank you for being good/ The visible qualities of an invisible God/ for this, let the earth be glad/ let the trees sings for joy/ let the mountains burst in sound/ for all things are created with purpose/ not one a mistake/ held together in your hands/ for a purpose with a plan

Thank you...

Thank you, to the trees that fall down to make leaves. The leaves make it fun when we have big leaf piles to jump into and play. This is fun to make a big splash. Then we gather more leaves make another pile. Wee jump in and make a big crunch sound we are laughing as the leaves are up to our knees. Thank you leaves falling off the tress as we play outside with so many memories.


Thank you...

Thank You, Leaves Leaves, you ignite my imagination, and at once I enter a world where squirrels and mice run wild, and play in your vibrant colors. I am transported back to my youth, and laughter envelops the depths of my soul. Leaves, you are full of light and life, the problems of the world slowly slip away, and my mind can finally rest, and all I can say is "thank you."

Thank you Thank you, trees, for all you do, For giving us air and skies so blue. You shade us when the sun is bright, And make the world feel just right. Your leaves can whisper, sway, and dance, You give the animals a chance— To climb, to hide, to make a nest, You really are the best! Thank you, trees for helping with the air I breathe To cherish and protect each tree As the trees help us breathe A humble bow, a grateful plea Let's protect our trees Thank you, trees, for all you do

Thank you...

Thank you falling leaves. Gentle drifting in the crisp air. Amber, brown, gold red whisper through the trees. Your fire glow covers the ground, Until the snow takes over by pounds. Thank you leaves for the lessons you give. Always showing us how we can fall and still live.

Megan

Thank you...

Fall, the time to give thanks For the fresh air, leaves blowing in the breeze For pumpkins, apples, and spice so sweet, And crunchy paths beneath our feet. Thank you for your gentle call, To slow, reflect, and cherish all. As sunsets fade quick in the night, animals seek homes just quite right. Thank you fall.

Remember...

Remember the leaves it’s natural cover: green leaves, orange leaves, red leaves, brown leaves, leaves cover us. Think about the protection the leaves give us. Think about each leaf, and its purpose to live, die, then cover the ground. Each leaf represents us, and our lives.

Connor Israel
New York

Remember...

Remember the simplicity of waking up each day Enjoy the wind and seek peace along the way Remember the birds chirping happily in their nest Become inspired to feel your best Remember the sun which beams upon the earth Shining on everything, no matter its worth Remember that Nature is an open book at the worlds disposal Remember to read it well, for it is very jovial.

Connor Meehan
Woodbury NY

Remember...

Remember the whispers of trees, their ancient tales, Know the rhythm of rivers, how they flow and bend. Remember the fire within, burning bright and bold, Remember your roots, buried deep in the earth's embrace. Remember, always, the dance of life, in every step, unfold.


Remember...

Remember what makes you, you This for everything created that's true The earth in the beginning with green grass and the sky blue Your ancestors making your life new And when your parents watched you as you grew Remember what makes you, you

Matt Imperiale

Remember...

Remember with all the bad that happens in the world, there is the good to look forward to.

Greg Fegos
Glen Head

Remember...

In the rhythm of the wind, where memories sway, Harjo's verses linger, guiding my way. "Remember," she whispers, a sacred call, Echoes in my heart, like leaves in fall. Through the rivers of time, her words cascade, A gentle reminder, no essence can fade. In the dance of the trees, their roots entwined, I find my own Remember, in the echoes combined. To the pulse of the Earth, a harmonious song, In the cadence of Remember, I too belong. Through sunsets and dawns, in the celestial ember, I respond to Harjo's Remember.


Remember...

Remember the clouds, drifting by, Painting stories in the sky. Watch them dance, free and high, Nature's canvas, an endless supply. Remember the stars, shining bright, Glimmers of hope in the dark night. Gaze at them, dream and soar, In their endless tales, we explore.

Peter Gerbasi
New York

Remember...

Remember the clouds, drifting by, Painting stories in the sky. Watch them dance, carefree and high, Nature's canvas, an endless supply. Remember the stars, shining bright, Glimmers of hope in the clear night. Gaze at them, dream and soar, In their vast tales, we explore.

Peter Gerbasi
New York

Remember...

Remember the friends you laugh with, the family that supports you, and the relationships that make you feel loved and appreciated.

Cooper Mendelsohn
Chaminade

Remember...

Remember the rocks, the ones who lay the foundation for us to stand and grow on. Respect them, as they have kept us steady for centuries


Remember...

Remember of the sunrise and sunset which brings you deep joy…


Massapequa

Manifesto...

Go out and be free Get perspective. Be humbled by the tallest trees, And by the smallest pebbles Gaze upon the setting sun From a mountain or valley Feel the ocean breeze And the next day the snow And the next the desert sand See the true wild, before its gone Never remain in one place Let everywhere be unfamiliar Let nowhere be everywhere

Jack
Oyster Bay, New York

Something sacred...

Something sacred is this earth. The flowers that bloom, the animals that flourish. It’s all taken advantage of as that is all we have ever had and don’t see a future when it is ruin. Take care of the earth as it provides for you. And you will see the wonders it has to offer.

Andrew Brancaccio
Garden City

Remember...

Remember the mountains, up in the sky Looking up to the summit, oh how high Feel the rocks, weathered and old A story that is filled with gold Remember the ocean waves Crashing upon the sand Remember the fun times We got to experience firsthand

Connor Bendowski and Joseph denicola

Remember...

Remember the dark oak trees filled with honey and bees Remember the old times of glee when only we were so free Remember the joyous shouts in the yard when recess was fought so hard Remember life when there was no worries but not seeing the morning flurries

Antonio Ruffo
Chaminade

Remember...

Remember the rivers, flowing like life’s stories. Remember the mountains, standing resilient through time. Talk to them, listen tot heir whistles chaired by the wind. They are poets of our Earth as well.
