Kheien' okon:'a

My dear children

My daughters

Kheien’ okon:’a

Life’s impregnated

Ready to birth into bloom

Mothers always all around you

No matter the thot of distance

It’s all illusion

So envision beauty...

Robust life and love so vibrant

My dear future...

I engulf you with glory

God of thy witness

Spoken with spirit and song

Carried in by the robins

Thy red breasted kin

Ever so kindred

My grandmother once said, “ What you don’t know won’t hurt you ...”

So I give it all away to the wind

The weights not thee to carry

I pray for the best, love always

Regardless of the structure and system

Your my greatest inspiration

My dear children

My daughters

Kheien’ okon:’a

Mothers medicine is within you

Always remember this

Earth consoles our hearts

Despite our wildness

Forgiven by nature

Chosen by the infinite love of existence...
