There is a woman
that is so very special to me,
This special woman is a Cherokee.The Father gifted her with wisdom
and a healing hand,
People from all the nations come to her,
From all across the land.
This special woman
has become like a true sister to me,
Yet her beautiful heart is pure Cherokee.
I wondered why she would help
an old Mohawk Warrior, like me...
You know it wasn't that long ago
our tribes were enemies.
Yet she helps me to walk
my Red Road
with honor and pride.
Whenever I have troubles
she's right there at my side.
She helps me with the darkness
brought on by the PTSD.
Her words of wisdom like God's light,
shining down on me.
I hold in my heart a very special love
for her, it's down deep inside,
For she has brought back
to my spirit both honor and pride.
I thank the Father every day
for this Cherokee woman
he did send
The beautiful hearted woman
I call my sister, Free Wind.
