GRANDFATHER'S WISH
I SIT IN THE QUIET OF THE EARLY DAWN,
AWAITING DAY BREAK WHILE WATCHING A FAWN,
THE SOUNDS OF THE MORNING KEEP ME IN BALANCE,
AS I TAKE IT ALL IN WITH GLORIOUS WONDER...
THE BIRDS THAT SING IN THE DAWNS EARLY LIGHT,
BUTTERFLIES ON THE WING WITHIN MY SIGHT,
THE RUSHING SOUNDS OF A NEARBY STREAM,
THIS MUST BE PERFECTION, AT LEAST IT SEEMS...
CREATOR HAS GIVEN US ALL THIS TO SEE,
IT WAS GIFTED TO ALL TO RESPECT AND RETRIEVE,
IN OUR HEARTS LIES SUCH A GREAT HONOR,
TO SHARE THIS WITH ALL OUR SISTERS AND BROTHERS...
THE TIME HAS COME FOR US ALL TO GATHER,
TOGETHER TO SHARE LIFES IMPORTANT MATTERS,
WE MUST COME TOGETHER AND UNITE,
TO PREPARE FOR THE TIME OF THE CIRCLE WITH MIGHT...
WE MUST MEND THE CIRCLE AND DEMENISH ALL HATE,
IT IS GRANDFATHERS WISH FOR ALL OF OUR SAKES,
TO TEACH AND TO LEARN OF THE OLD WAYS,
TO PREPARE OURSELVES FOR THE COMING DAYS...
OUR ANCESTORS ARE CALLING WITHIN THE DRUMS,
TO GATHER ALL BLOOD AND MAKE US ALL ONE,
WE SING AND DANCE IN THE CIRCLE TO SHOW,
CREATOR OUR RESPECT AND DESIRE TO KNOW...
WHAT HE WANTS OF US ON EACH OF OUR PATHS,
WE PRAY TO HIM TO END ALL THE RATHS,
AMOUNG OUR PEOPLE AND KEEP THEM ALL FREE,
TO GIVE US COURAGE, TO FULFILL ALL OUR NEEDS...
THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE A BABBLING BROOK,
A SMALL BIRD ON THE WING,
A FISH ON YOUR HOOK,
THINK ABOUT WHAT ALL OF THIS MEANS,
CREATOR HAS GIVEN US ALL OF THESE THINGS...
LETS NOT TAKE IT ALL FOR GRANTED, TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN, UNDERSTAND AND SEE WHAT IS IN THE WORLD AROUND US. CREATOR IS PREPARING ALL OF US FOR A MUCH BIGGER TIME IN OUR LIVES, IT MAY NOT HAPPEN WITHIN OUR LIFETIME OR OUR CHILDRENS TIME, BUT IT IS COMING. WE WILL NEED TO BE READY AND MEND THE CIRCLE SO THAT WE CAN ALL RETURN TO HIM WITH RESPECT, HONOR AND WITHOUT SHAME.
