Greta's wonderful recognition as Time Magazine "Person of the Year", due to her extraordinary efforts to fight for climate change, inspired me to share the piece and poem I made in her honor.
“To Greta: Song of the Heart”
This is my song; I hope you can hear it
It’s a cry from deep in my heart
You took away my dream
I dreamed of flowers in the breeze
You stole away my dream
I dreamed of song birds in the trees
This is my song; I hope you can hear it
It’s a cry from deep in my heart
You snatched away my dreams
My dreams have gone to dust
You robbed me of my schemes
And stole away my trust
This is my song; I hope you can hear it
It’s a cry from deep in my heart
How dare you twist the truth
Birds now fade in darkened cloud
How dare you steal my youth
My earth is draped in deathly shroud
You stole away my dream
But you could not steal my voice
This is my song
I hope you can hear it
