We Are The Native Americans We are the Native Americans. We are the children of the sun, the earth, and the waters. We are the sons and daughters of those before us, the mothers and fathers of those who follow. We are at peace with the living and the dead, we are in harmony with life. We are the Native Americans. We are the strength and the pride of the nations of the land; the watchers and protectors of all beneath the Sky Father's hand. We are the Native Americans. We hear the Eagle sing, the wind blow, the snow fall. We listen to the beast, and the plants, the insects and reptiles; we respect all things, we are one with them all. We are the Native Americans, prideful, strong, respectful, guardians of the earth, dancing with the spirits of our ancestors as we fly with the Eagle in his great circles; his great Circles Of Life. We, are the Native Americans. w. james beard, jr. |

JWesley~ You did a wonderful job with this. Thank you for the honor your show my people. 'We are at peace with the living and the dead, we are in harmony with life.' To shine the light on the future we must first see the past. May all come to know that the pathway to peace has been paved by the spirits of those who walked the land long ago. Walk easy, my friend, for you have taken the hand of many friends and they will guide you. May love beckon peace until we stand as ONE~ We have much to learn. ~*White Feather~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Thank you Irish Rose, and Dark Angel, for the kind thoughts. And Sunshine...Marge is always a hard act to follow, no matter who we are... and Marge, I thank your people for opening my eyes to many things, for the lives they led, and the philosophy of those lives. I try to show appreciation in the only way I know how...by writing. jwesley |

Amazing, seriously amazing. I have never read a poem about that before. It was really great. Lucidity is the answer to all problems |
