The Gift
The smoke of burning bonfires;
Lighting up the night;
With excited eyes;
A little Native princess;
Watches from afar;
In her buckskin dress;
Her beads and matching leggings;
Her black hair in braids;
She can see her dad;
Sitting with the other men;
He bids her to come;
She ran so very fast;
To her daddy's outstretched arms;
He gives her a kiss;
He smiles broadly;
Gives her a new owl feather;
That he found today;
Back to mom she runs;
Proudly holding up her gift;
Singing joyfully
It is time for bed;
She holds her feather tightly;
As she falls asleep
