Mother, show me how to love,
Beyond my human fear:
Teach me all the joys of life
Beyond the veil of tears.

Let me find the pleasure of
A lover's gentle hands:
Let me know the wisdom of
Respect without demands.

Oh, Keeper of Forgiveness,
Teach me how to see
Beyond the petty judgments,
Supporting human dignity.

I will learn your Medicine
Of Mother, lover, friend,
Teaching others how to love
And broken hearts to mend.

Mother, teach me how to heal
The feelings inside of me:
Teach me how to respect all life
With burgeoning humility.

Show me the path away from abuse,
Where everything sings of life,
Where heartache is just a memory
Of ancient, human strife.

Let my spirit be healed
Until dying holds no fear,
Where rebirth is welcomed,
Bringing me joyous tears.

These are the things that I desire,
For I want to truly know,
The pathways and healing passage
Through the dark night of the soul.

Thank you, Mother, for teaching me
To lift my heart in praise,
Filling my spirit with gladness
For the blessings of the Beauty Way.

You have taught me how to sing,
How to rejoice, dance and drum,
And how to sing my gratitude
For the abundance that will come.

You have shown me the magic of
A change in the mind and heart,
An attitude made of wisdom
That celebration of life imparts.

I sing the truth of thankfulness

When I greet Grandfather Sun,

Then send my love to Mother Earth

For the life force that makes us one."
