An Acrostic Poem
THE OLD WARRIOR

This is the time of year to share your lodge and dreams with others.
Hope and peace for many is just a smile and nod away.
Encourage others to join you in helping the angry and sad.

Open your lodge to those in need and you will be rewarded!
Lessons may be learned from both the strong and the needy visitors.
Dreams they bring may be lost memories of the early days of the People.
Welcome everyone with an open mind, an open heart, and kindred spirit.
Ask for nothing in return for the patience and generosity you offer your guests.
Remember the Great Spirit bears full witness to all you do and fail to do.
Reward those who offer peace and kindness.
Invite the spirits of the ancestors to witness your love and concern.
Offer hope and wisdom to those who seek it.
Respect the privacy of your guests and honor their words.
