Out here in this country
Springtime has arrived
It’s time to plant new seeds
Seeds of hope
Seeds of justice
Seeds of harmony
These were the prophesies
My ancestors left for us
All of us residing on turtle island
Be the light of a new day
Each color a celebration
Each heart/seed a precious star

Excerpted from an address by Sharon M Day to a school assembly this spring.
