I AM FROM...a country long ago
a place of tribal chiefs and honored mothers
where warriors fought for land and honor
and won the maiden of his dreams.
I AM FROM...a place of sacred songs and sacred prayers
where ceremonies are so real.
It can cure the humble and the weak
and bring you to your feet.
I AM FROM...the Navajo Way, the blessing way
a prayer for Mother Earth.
We pray to her and pray for her
In beauty we will walk.
I AM FROM...fields of corn, where labor is intense
a place where pollen is sacred
and
used for blessings on our heads.
We toil the land and harvest the corn
a blessing
from the earth.
I AM FROM...the land of milk and honey
wait a minute, its the desert and the mesa's
where Mother Earth is really real.
Up early and work, work, work..
anyway that's how it is for me.
I AM FROM...a daughter grown to motherhood
with children at my feet.
This
is the time of joy..
the first step, the first tooth,
and now the dating scene.
I AM FROM...a troubled heart and crazy kids
but
joy is still abounding.
With kids in music and in sports
can you see me smiling?
Is it time for practice or the game?
Just
get me there on time!
I AM FROM...rushing here and rushing there
it's time to raise more money.
The booster club needs my help
it's fry bread time again.
I AM FROM...being a mom, having a job, and going to school.
It's my kids who keep me going I cannot stop just now.
I AM FROM...wondering how it would be to settle down a little
would I go nuts or would I spend the kid's buck?
I AM FROM...early mornings and late at nights
to worrying and just pacing.
I wouldn't trade a minute because I know it's worth it.
This research is killing me
I should have started sooner.
But once again here I go....
learning, learning, learning..
then
one day I will gradute
then you'll see me smiling!!!!!!!!!! :)
