They say the Panther died in his Sleep
But not without a Leap.
The Hippo drowned in a Pool of Blood
But with a gentle Smile on his Face.
So you took Death by the Hand
brought him Home
to a Harvest of Ancestral Songs.
You took down his Battle Dress
gave him a Gown of Flames
wrapped in Laughter’s Tender Care
You removed the Thunder from his Voice
the Lightning from his Eyes.
You placed a Rainbow on his Face.
You explained to Death
How and Why he must be Brave
Turn his Back upon the Grave
So the Children in their Sleep
May Dream the Future
Filled with Hope The Promise of Hope.
