Mother Earth teaches me,

Turns me again into a child of nature,

Sharpen my senses to listen to the birds,

To see the beauty of plants around me,

To feel the fine veins of a leaf.

 

She allows me to become a part of nature.

Her wisdom is deep inside of me.

I am a living cell in the Heavenly Light.

I am a child of the earth and of God.

 

She opens my heart for the wonders and joy of life,

Fills my mind with gratitude and kindness,

Let me wake up and realize that I live -

And I always remember that

I owe her a part of my life.

 

She is both mother and creator.

She gives and takes life.

Scientists honor her by numbers.

I do not honor her by living on her but with her.

 

All beings will go to the Mother.

 

Mother Earth gives life and takes it back.

She is not cruel.

She loves her children,

And her children come and seek comfort.

 

All beings will go to the Mother.

 

When flowers fade, they bend their heads to the ground.

Animals lie down on the ground,

If they want to die -

Birds, deer and fishes.

 

In the last moments of my life,

I also want to rest on the ground,

With my eyes upwards to the stars.

Then I am - like at death and birth -

Next to Father God and Mother Earth.

sharpen, not sharpens

She is both mother and creator, not she is mother and creator in one.

Hmm, it had aspects of a hymn in it. The ending made it feel that way. All things considered, that's more or less what I can say for now regarding your poem. It had a few errors, but the sentiment is clear and comprehensive. The use of the ending was well thought out too.

I think that you've done a good job with this poem :)
