Poetry By: Lucy Bear Meeks

Proud

I planted corn for all the children I danced for all the people I cried for all the injustices I sang for the GREAT SPIRIT

My live is short, almost over my memories are good my life has been strong the GREAT SPIRIT guides my crossing over

When I have gone I will know it has not been in vain

My children plant the corn for all the children my children dance for all the people my children cry for all the injustices my children sing for the GREAT SPIRIT

The GREAT SPIRIT will guide my children for all the world to see their lives will be long and full
they will be proud to be.
