Thou art the voice of your father’s father,
breath of your mother’s mother,
desires of your ancestors’
fervent prayers
to come
to bring peace
to make peace
to make well
to make
prayers pulse with reality,
dervish of dancer’s desires
that breathe on their own
thou art
all the voice we need

Congratulations on #23, my Sister. Also, congratulations on #3100...both impressive accomplishments, Sweetie. Brava, my dear Friend.

23-woah! Congratulations! It's so true that we are the answered prayers of our ancestors. I think that we have such a sense of independence in our culture that we don't think of where we came from, but your poem reminds us that we all have such a rich history and lineage, no matter who we are.
Oh, and aaaaawwwww she's beautiful! -
She is gorgeous, gal! What a beautiful fulfillment of hopes and dreams, a promise of so much more than we can even imagine.
Abundant blessings upon Cate Michelle and her adoring family.
Congratulations!
