My Journey Home

The spirits stand before me to guide me on my way To a place so peaceful that I would like to stay I'll be on the wings of eagles soaring through the skies While all my friends and family say their last goodbyes I am the bear gone fishing for everlasting life Until I am reunited with my children and my wife I hear lots of animals running through this eternal land As they have come to greet me and take me by the hand The wolves lay here beside me somewhere beyond the moon As I wait for my family to come and visit someday soon And I shall go on hunting for the place to lay to rest Beside my loving mother in holy blessedness I see the gates of our great spirit as I start drawing near And send lots of hugs and kisses to those I hold so dear I'll be on my journey home somewhere past our great sun So I'm sending loving spirits to all my beloved ones by Deborah Lynn Gale with deepest sympathy to Native, David Welch
