For each child that’s born,

a morning star rises

and sings to the universe

who we are

We are our grandmothers’ prayers

We are our grandfathers’

dreamings

We are the breath of the ancestors

We are the spirit of God.

We are

Mothers of courage

Fathers of time

Daughters of dust

the sons of great visions

Sisters of mercy

Brothers of love

lovers of life

Builders of nations

Seekers of truth

Keepers of faith

Makers of peace

Wisdom of ages…
