To the Children Beyond
To the children beyond
I give you freedom
To the children beyond
I give you love
To the children beyond
I give you joyful living
To the children beyond
I present the dove
To the children beyond
I gift you gentleness
To the children beyond
I give you sight
To the children beyond
I pass my wisdom
To the children beyond
I give you life
And what is life
But a map without any places
A map that you yourselves will draw
As you explore
And Mother Earth is the map
That you will draw upon
And it is a map that will be shared
With others too
To draw a line from here to there
There is one rule
And as your elder, i can teach you
It is my school
To draw a line upon the map
You must have travelled it
And carried with you and kept intact
A heart of love
This line of love
Will intersect with others drawing
And soon the lines so carefully placed
Will weave the New
And the journeys of those before –
Your loving ancestors’
Have left faint lines to guide you
As you explore
And we are here
To support and share our wisdom
And you are there
To co-create and dream the New
Blessed be the children
Of the new creation
Blessed be the vision quest
Of those unborn
Blessed be my loved ones
Who now can journey
And draw their maps
From the fabric of their hearts
A gift to you
A feather pen
It is your mother’s
I gift to you
My love and joy
It is your ink
We gift to you
The courage now to move onway
We gift to you
The wisdom garnered to make a choice
Carry love in every step
As you move forward
The future’s yours, you have the gifts
And we rejoice
Blessed be our dear children
Of the present
Blessed be
Our dear children of beyond
Always, yes always
You will carry
The strength connecting us
It is
OUR LOVE BOND
