"Wishes of the Cheerful Birds"
The moon and the stars stand by the sky
To light the path of the night
The sun opens her eyes to guide the day

When the heads arose from the pillow
And the bodies from the bed
The cheerful birds make their wishes of good, sweet
and smiling morning to all that sees the day.

Hurry embraces houses, trees and forest
Houses on the road
Trees into the sky and land
Forest into the bush, holes and rivers
To do the work for the living
Before the hurry, grateful houses kneel to thank the Maker
For another day well given.

It's nice and sweet to sleep
Happy to wake
Joyful to wake strong and ready
Kissing love ones to sleep
Welcoming them to the new day with kiss of joy
Beautifies each night
And strengthens each day.

What is life without love ones?
Wealth is nothing without lovely family.
In prudence she is acquired
In love, kindness, tenderheart, care, correction
and tolerance she is kept and maintained.

Thanks for reading.
