Ancestral guides
Guided by the fearless spirit of the lion,
I roar with ancestral strength and courage.
My forefathers' wisdom flows through my veins,
Their spirits guide me through life's many pains.
I am the product of their struggles and strife,
Their legacy lives on through me and my life.
Their courage and strength, their love and their grace,
Are the foundation of my being, my very base.
I stand tall and proud, with my head held high,
For I am the embodiment of their hopes and their sighs.
Their dreams and their aspirations, their fears and their tears,
All live on in me, through the passage of years.
So I walk with confidence, with a heart full of pride,
For I know that my ancestors are always by my side.
Guiding me through life, with their wisdom and love,
And watching over me, from the heavens above.
