We Must Go Back Poem by Robin Pitt

Down a lonesome road one day I met the Earth
She was tired but friendly
So we sat and talke a while
I asked the Earth
Where are your people, Mother?
And she replied
They are not gone, just lost is all
One day they will find their way back

So I travelled on

A little while later I met the Sun
And I asked him
Why do you shine so brightly, Grandfather?
And he relied
So my people will one day know the way home
Because you can't find your way in the dark

And so I travelled on
A bit further down the road I met the Moon
And I asked her
Why do you not always shine, Grandmother?
And to this she replied
because my people are proud
It would shame them if they say me weep
So when the pain is to great to bear
I hide in the dark and cry

Now the Moon no longer weeps alone
For I weep with her
