Poem By Olivia Juarez
This is a verse contributed to the collective praise poem: irreplaceable. “irreplaceable is a chorus of praise swelling with love for our Great Salt Lake. By some reports,1700 square miles would be the size of the fully restored lake; the lake bed is approximately 2200 square miles. At over 2200 lines, the size of this poem is a prayer for Great Salt Lake's full restoration.”
You give us the most beautiful sunsets on Earth
Our future wholly depends on whether you are well
We can only thrive when you thrive
We are a salty people
Parched unless you fill
Hungry unless you feed
Jaded unless you bring back the birds
We depend on your magic
It beautifies, it inspires, it gives life
Thank you for your gifts, great salt lake
May our people behold your wonders.
