I have many friendsWho do not know that I exist.I have heard themOn the radio, or on TV.Their words have touchedThe very fiber of my soulBrought tears to flowBrought music up into the holeThat's been inside my soul. Ancestors, spirits sing againShow me the pathThat brings me homeHome to Creator's arms--My Parents' arms.A new day dawnsLife's been renewedMy life's been touchedBy someone living his or hers. When will we meet?Or is that not to be? One human family weOne human raceOne God and one Creator here,Embrace the lightAnd bring it to your soul...My friend helps make me wholeBut doesn't even know that I exist! July 7, 2012 3:20AM

But truth…

Acknowledgement, Confession,Repentance, Forgiveness...Steps to reconciliation make.We bow in deep repentanceAncestors cry tears of anguish and regretLonging for release from crimesInflicted long ago,Not forgotten,Not forgiven,Haunt us to this day. Stepping up in their place, we bow,Acknowledge ancestral crimes,Historical trauma inflicted without shameSeek forgivenessFrom their victim's eyes. Will you walk the Bridge with me?Heal historical trauma deep?Bring hidden to the surface nowOpen hearts, and learn to love? Never againThese crimes against humanityWill tempt our beating heartsFor we have foundThe one true loveThat goes beyond external wallsWeaves us into oneCreator's dream comes true!The Bridge of Peace is being builtOne crossing at a time.

Reconciliation, Healing, New Beginnings
