Surrounded by community
Lifted up and supported
By their love and actions
He grew up sure of himself
With a heightened sense
Of his integral part of it all
And a solid knowing
That he had been gifted
With a life blessed with purpose
His heart sang natural gratitude
To the Great Mystery of it all
A dalliance a day
just gazing at the sun
early morning ritual
standing on the earth
breezes kissing cheeks
Gratitudes
grateful for the gift of life
grateful for this day
grateful for the warmth of sun
and his loving light
grateful for my mother earth
and the strength she does imbue
grateful for the winds of change
and the fire of Spirit
a dalliance with Beloved One
