Warrior One who stands alone
With a bonnet holding feathers of many
Your face is proud and very strong
As you walk in the present silent space
You are the holder of the secrets
Of times that are past and gone
You have kept them hidden away
In the chambers of your very heart
A heart that is weary and wants to pass on
One that has left you here in this place all alone
Only the spirits can understand what you have become
In this time of many moons ago
Your physical self was strong
In your mind you were steadfast and brave
As you looked at the darkness of death's face
The spirit has walked with you
And brought you here in this place
Warrior take care that your reward is near
For the one who created all sees and hears
The pain that you have endured
One day the eagle will fly and within his wings you do rest
Your soul will be free and you will be blessed...
You humble me warrior of old
For through my heart an arrow has passed
As I share your story...my eyes have tears
I am humbled as this I do share...
Ah Ho!!!
