I have much to learn. I begin today . . .
My Elders have all gone to see The Great Spirit.
One great beauty named Erna,
who was married by my German, French, American Grandfather,
I know not much from that union,
I have much to learn.
I begin today . . .
So much has been lost
Will I ever find my way?
Yes, I have, but I have much to learn.
I begin today . . .
I can feel the connection to The Great Spirit
that I share with all my children on earth.
Does it matter that I have missed so much time?
No... I have much to learn.
I begin today . . .
Right now is what my Creator has given me.
I cannot change the past, but can do with today what he guides me to do.
I will do the best I can with what I have.
I will continue to learn and live.
Maybe someday I will know some things to share,
so sacred rituals are not lost.
A Wisdom keeper someday I may be.
I have much to learn.
I begin today . . .
