The morning comes,

Daybreak over the land,

The night receding

As it rises

On the other side.

 

I stand in the new daylight,

Its fresh brilliance,

Brings a warmth

Deep

Within my soul.

 

I turn to my ancestors

And pray,

They brought me here,

I honour them,

I turn towards tomorrow.

 

Today I am here,

On future’s threshold,

An ancestor to be,

A sacred responsibility,

I hold it within my heart.
