Poetic Premise  


Thou A
rt My Sister             

Thou art my sister, because we were born of the same Great Spirit;

Conceived from the same mound of earth;

Slept quietly together in the cradle of Unknowing until

He in His gentleness set us in the midst of humanity….

You Are My Sister, I Love You.

You and I are destined to be companions on the highway of life-Together or apart,

 You Are My Sister, I Love You.

If the color of my skin is different from yours, it mattereth not,

Only let the beauty of our souls be kindred.

I will honor our wisdom and understanding, as you will mine.

Together we shall see the seeds of truth in the distant rooms of the Great Spirit;

The reflection of inner knowledge shall wear as beauty upon our face….

You Are My Sister, I Love You.

I will be human and fall down in rough places;

But thy hands is near mine, I will reach for it, I shall not be alone,

I will embrace you when the rains of sorrow visit you,

I will befriend your soul as if it were my own…..

You Are My Sister, I Love You.

If death takes from me the lamp of life, and the veil of eternal sleep falls across my eyes before yours,

I will wait for you.

I will come to lead you across the bridge of night into the meadows of the Great Spirit.

You Are My Sister, I Love You!

I AM

 

I am so beautiful

 I am fearfully and

 wonderfully made by God

I am his creation

Inside of me is love

Inside of me is peace

Inside of me is joy

Inside of me is happiness

I am the Rose of Sharon

 blashing in a dry desert

God said it

 I believe it and

That settles it!
