When It's Time

I hear a heartfelt sob deep within my soul, It touches me in such a way, yet for why I don't really know I pondered on the reason why this sound has come to me As I think of all that had past and worry of what is to be My mother the earth weeps for all that has been done She sees all her children's fate, past, present and beyond I ask the Great Spirit how can one single soul stop all that has been done He smiles His light on me and says, my child you have only just begun Your words are read by many who also seek the answer to the question WHY< You carry the wisdom and heart of all your people who now dwell in the sky The sobs you hear are your very own For all those who now have gone Gone from this world but they memory and spirit live on Deep in your heart or hearts you know they are always near Look in your soul my child and that's where I am Close beside you holding your hand You still have much to do my child for it still is not the time But know when your time does come, we will walk together with your hand in mine
