In Honor
By Aileen McPherson
You are my inspiration!
Teaching me how to live as
A good person, the ability
To care for myself, tools
To guide my mortality and Spirituality.
Your stories give me strength,
I have courage, resolve to
Continue the fight, I will live.
In all things, ways, shapes, and forms, I honor you,
Our Ancestors.
All the mothers, fathers, sisters,
Brothers, warriors who protect,
Growers who feed, healers when
We are in need, artisans
Creating mystery fantasy reality,
Teachers educate making minds
Relate, while Elders pass down
Sacred spirituality, lead from your heart,
Community is family, what hurts one hurts all.
Ancestors help me to be my best version in this life.
