History is made this day
the elders of the family join
we are entreated to take seats
humbly wives sit on mats
Honor is given this day
decision of ancestral lands
children to thrive and play
hold hope in our hands
Strong, grace in a man’s eyes
he bows his head
hearts are honest, open
promise for a new day
Tears reach my eyes
a lesson for our world’s leaders
a home for lonely children
thanks were given this day
