Endless Grassy Sea

Virgin prairie

Endless grassy sea

Fertile, untouched

Living always free

 

Nature’s preserve

Blessed grassy sea

Native people

Worship what they see

 

Gift forever

Treasured grassy sea

Timeless, precious

Mother Earth agrees

 

Standing knee high

Faithful grassy sea

Glory days sing

Praises fill with glee

 

Man’s encroachment

Constant grassy sea

Days now numbered

Earth makes her plea

 

Plowing under

Cherished grassy sea

Another farm

Way of life now flees

 

Forever gone

Priceless grassy sea

Winds of time change

What should always be

 

Pockets remain

Endless grassy sea

Memories breathe

Yesterday foresees

 

Remnants of the original American prairie can be found in places such as the Tall Grass Prairie Preserve in Oklahoma. (Courtesy of Pinterest)
