For Each Child That’s Born

Author Unknown


For each child that's born
a morning star rises
and sings to the universe
who we are.

We are our grandmothers' prayers.
We are our grandfathers' dreamings.
We are the breath of our ancestors.
We are the spirit of God.

We are
Mothers of courage
Fathers of time
Daughters of dust
Sons of great vision.

We are
Sisters of mercy
Brothers of love
Lovers of life
and the builders of nations.

We are Seekers of truth
Keepers of faith
Makers of peace
and the wisdom of ages.

We are our grandmothers' prayers…

For each child that's born…

WE ARE ONE.
