ON WINDS OF LOVE
(For JJ)
I've read the words about your land
Of your people and their ways
You've taught me much and guided me
Through many many days
You've written of your people
Of the land that you hold dear
Of your time as a warrior
That spans over many years
I've asked for prayers in troubled times
You lit the fires for me
You called upon your people
And shared with them my plea
A proud and noble warrior
Sometimes as tough as nails
A warrior that sits at tea parties
Because of love for two little girls
I do not know the ways of your people
Only what you have taught
I do not know how to light the medicine fire
But you remain within my thoughts
All I know is to send my love
On winds across this land
I'll pray to God and Usen
That he holds you in his hands
Within my heart there burns a fire
That I will tend with love and care
Until I hear from you again
I will continue to send my prayers
