"Woman Warrior in Ribbons and Bows"
I am a woman warrior in ribbons and bows
from the top of my head to the tip of my toes.
Make no mistake, I am loving and kind
but deeply inside is where my truth shines.
I will stand by the men on a battle line staked
and fight to the death for my People's sake.
I give birth to my children and care for the others
offer love and support to Grandfathers and Mothers.
I can be pretty and sweet in my ribbons and bows
but never mistake, I'm a warrior who knows
that the path I am called to brings trials and tears
conflicts that call for pure strength and no fears.
Respect me and honor me is all that I ask,
carrying love for all People is a burdensome task.
Few honors and glories are earned on this path,
standing your ground brings out the best or the wrath
of those on the sidelines who jeer or they mock
instead of supporting the strong ones who walk.
I am a woman warrior in ribbons and bows
loving her People while attacking their foes.
Make no mistake as you look in my eyes
I speak only truth and I tell you no lies
.
I am a woman warrior in ribbons and bows
from the top of my head to the tip of my toes.

DIVINE
DECISIONS
(copyright- shelley bluejay pierce 1996)
Through
the sorrow comes sweet communion,
sweet
communion, God and man.
A
gentle breeze about us blowing
yet
solid place to firmly stand.
Oh
blessed Creator, surround my being
when
showers of tears I never planned
lay
waste my heart and mind confusion
of
mortal flesh and Heavenly hand.
I
thank Thee then for all tribulation
let
each one more fulfill Your plan
for
daily making my life more nearly
sweet
communion, God and man.
Through
all my life, pour out Your blessings,
Divine
decisions from high above.
May
each day bring deep comprehension
of
Your pure and all-sufficient love.
Your
ways are higher, thoughts far beyond
the
mortal mind may miss the plans
Divine
decisions surround me daily
sweet
communion, God and man.
