The Worlds RainbowBrown eyes and skin like cinnamon. Amber hues of gold and blue. We are our mothers children, and rainbow is our name.
My Mothers Arms
We nestle in our Mothers arms.
She gives our family life.
Children of Diversity
She gathers her children to her side,
Children of all nations.
Her harmony is nurtured by diversity.(African Image)
Song of FriendshipAlways I shall know my sisters, we shall ride together. Always I shall love my sisters, we share our joy. Always I shall remember my sister, we shall raise our children together. At our feet sit our grandchildren. They too shall ride together. Such is life!
Childhood Memories
When I was a small child climbing into my mothers arms, she combed and tugged my hair into neat braids. Remembering the pleasures of childhood, I treasure the start of the day.

bright colors, subtle shades.
Life, like art, creates beauty
from diversity,(Nigerian Image)p

I did not care.
"A thousand voices in the air", he said

I turned to hear and the laughte continued.

Hands so gentle,
wipe away my tears.
Fingers strong,

A Good SpiritGentle breezes tease the earth.
Trees, with branches spread,
Welcome her children.
"A good spirit always looks after her young."(Taken from an African saying.)
Bird SongI ask, "Birds do you sing for my pleasure?" The birds respond, "We sing instead to wake the day and greet the night and call our mates." I say to the birds, "That is all right, and I shall gather your songs.

Seeds sprout and life begins anew.

when the gentle drops of rain
touch the earth and awaken
the seeds in the spring.Petroglyph from Coso Range, California

We wait for Spring
with the greatest of expectations.
This Spring comes with a roaring wind,
the trees bend to share their pollen.
New life forms emerge the crying baby smiles.
This is the next cycle in the memory of this path

RecollectionsThose things forgotten,
I find at their rivers edge.
My memories are now like small fish splashing in the water.
I recall my mothers strong hands and my fathers wisdom.
I am blessed and I feel complete.
Grandmothers StoryI hear laughter when you talk of old coyote cooking his corn before it was planted...I hear the laughter of children. Grandmother, may I join you?
