His loving mother must know the cure.” “It’s true he might not recover But, if he dies, it is the way Of Mother Earth’s most perfect plan For all of us will pass someday.” “Mother Earth is where life begins Seasons roll round and round and round Full moons leave and come back again After death we return to ground.” “The animals are our Brothers Who taught us survival skills They give their meat to us to eat Warm furry hides keep us from chills.” “Learn the stories our Elders tell Search for your true Spirit soul For all are truly connected Growing wisdom should be your goal.” “So, remember our Mother Earth And all the sacredness she holds. All the world revolves in Circles Whose secrets are worth more than gold.” |
