Blessing Beads

Blessing Beads Once more around the park please Once more, just so i can see The Indian child has finally found her way By showing the world of her Indian days The times when her life was carefree and fun And those that were chasing she could always out run And theirs the stolen little wayward child whose cuss words , still can make me smile Bicycle rides around the school Being fastest made you cool Once more around the park please Once more, just so I can see I like to know where my money spent How much is owed and how much is lent Its the game of life I have always played I have gotten here, cause I don’t behave Once more around the park please Once more, just so I can see So much I missed on the last journey around Within this park that Incorporates a town The swings the paths, the ducks and geese Have been left here for me to see Once more around the park please Once more before I have to leave.

This is a very though provoking piece Lorraine. It reminds me of revisiting my past and assessing how (or why) I am where I am now. Thank you.
