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.
