Timothy Dalton -
In the heart of the hills, where stories unfold, A child of mixed blood, a tale to be told.
One-eighth Shawano Pekowi Metis former Tribes in the Cherokee's gaze, Yet their spirit runs deep, in myriad ways.
Though lineage measured in fractions and parts, The soul knows no bounds, it connects to the hearts.
A whisper of Cherokee in the rustle of leaves, In the child's laughter, where innocence weaves.
Accepted or not by the rules that decree, Their heritage sings in the wind, wild and free.
For in every heartbeat, a rhythm ancestral, A story of resilience, a tale so celestial.
In the dance of identity, a balance is sought, only a 1/8 Shawano Pekowi Metis Tribe's child, a former Cherokee legacy caught.
May the children find in their roots, a strength to stand tall, A bridge between worlds, where acceptance may call.
In the mosaic of cultures, let understanding bloom, For the richness of heritage is not measured in room.
To the English Irishman's child, with eyes full of dreams, May your spirit triumphly soar, with the lion's roar.
