POETRY REVISTED WITH JACQUELINE HOWETT



                                   TO MAKE A WARRIORS SOUL.


Original greeting card created by (c) Jacqueline Howett. From the Cards By Jacq Collection.



In my native land,
they tell stories
of the never ending road,
that they have travelled on.
They want me to know
about the why
that I am being here.
They look at me
and I see their hidden tears.
They have gathered, everyone of them,
feathers for my journey.
They talk of the heart
I will come to know.
That will break first,
in order to be strong,
to make a Warrior's soul.

  4. Wise words - we learn through experience, painful as it may be. We become stronger through it.

  10. I like the concept of the never ending road (life) being presented in the process of the whole village preparing the child for the never ending journey (living) by giving him/her the tools of wisdom (the feathers) to survive it like a warrior. It takes a village . . .
