caretakers

Caretakers

We are not owners of Mother Earth;
We are merely caretakers for future generations.
We must let our forests grow.
We must let our animals roam.
We must let our rivers flow.

We should take only what we need.
We must pick only flowers for today;
We must leave some for tomorrow.
We must save the future for our children’s children.
We must let the salmon swim and the buffaloes roam.

from Collected Poems of Dr. Tolbert Small
