Every Child Matters
Upon the shell of Turtle strong,
Echoes rise, a healing song.
Three generations hand in hand,
Holding stories of this land.
Braided hair, a sacred thread,
Whispers prayers for those long dead.
Blankets bright with colors bold,
Carry truths the earth still holds.
The child, the mother, elder too,
Stand as one, their spirits true.
A promise carved in sky and stone:
No child forgotten, none alone.
Every step, through loss and pain,
Plants the seeds of life again.
For every child, through time that scatters,
The truth remains—Each Child Matters.
