her skirt is the green of the valley,
gray hair done up in long braids,
she is someone's grandma who
has seen a few miles as her wrinkles show,
a woman who has kept her glow.

She wears a pine tree on her sweater,
donates to environmental causes,
receiving sets of self-addressed labels

She wears a pine tree on her sweater,
a symbol of wisdom and longevity,
it is a sacred one among the tribes
of the land of the Red Sunrise,
she is a proud American Native,
who displays her tree as being creative.
