Many of these cures were used and did the trick Sara, which goes to prove that it is faith in Love which is the underlying real lasting healing balm. I love your take on the contest. Agape, Moses

I am quite intrested in Native american culture myself. I attend the pow - wow they have in Brooklyn every year. They are very spiritual people - and I think you are too. Peace and Blessings Matthew Anish

So much truth to this poem, Sara. The FDA keeps giving approval to manmade drugs and then later taking them off the market. We could learn a lot about the healing powers of nature's gifts from the Native Americans. Awesome entry for the contest and I wish you success! Love, Carolyn
