Analysis of Grandfather's Song
Our Father, life giving light,
Redeemer of the plains
Carry our offerings into your heart,
remember, we serve in your name
Spirit Redeemer, the mountains and hills,
distant and barren in lore
The drums have restarted, the chanting begun,
the People despairing no more
(From ‘The Book Of Prayers:’ September, 2020)
