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

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
Many thanks Larry, I think there really is depth and meaning to the ancestors. Yes, past, present, and future…
I love the message and the rhythm
Thanks Deanna, yes there is an important quality to the ancestral line…
the depth of this connection our roots ~ as we sprout little bits of green upward to the sun . . . there is such a strength as we draw on those we came from allowing them to nurture us forward . . . thank you Jess
