At the feet of our ancestors
You wake with fear
Don’t be afraid
Shed no tear
I’ve come to your aide
We are here
Thanks to our elders
They came before us
Laid down their lives
Left their trust to us
Time and again
Generations have woven
Their place for us
We stand here today
This, their creation
Now ours to make new
Nurture your plant
Your body, your soul
To grow, to grow!
To learn again and again
To become, to thrive
At the feet of our ancestors

My comment: I feel like I can do much more with this piece, here is a start anyway.
Yes, Jess. Ancestors provide song in which our lives add verse. When we remember that song, time “To learn again and again / To become, to thrive.” Honor ancestors past, present, and future. Thank you for sharing
