This poem and message is dedicated to my lovely friend, Mary BlessedInk Riri. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your thoughts, emotions and experiences with us. You are blessed and you are powerful. Remember that we are here to lead. Wear your crown well, my darling. Wear your crown well By Michelle Morris 02/01/2023 Wear your crown well, my darling Wear your crown well You are a leader now Wear your crown well Your ancestors speak to me They know your life story They and God's angels Are always available to you Call out to them Call out to them when you need help Call out to them They will never let you lose hope You have travelled a long road Dusty and with many thorns You have healed the pain from Ancestral harm and memories So many difficult moments You have overcome You have stayed strong, dear one You have become a warrior Wear your crown well, my darling Wear your crown well You are a leader now Wear your crown well You are a leader now Your clan will turn to you The women need your warrior spirit The men need your wisdom and truth The children need your comfort They need your proud example Lead them well, my darling And teach them the old ways Never forget that We are all connected Your ancestors' blood and bone Is part of you in every way The culture and the knowledge Is there in your heart It is carried from your soul Where it resides in the Universe Wear your crown well, my darling Wear your crown well You are a leader now Wear your crown well Wear your crown well, my darling Wear your crown well Never forget that you are a queen Wear your crown well © Michelle Morris, 2023
