WHEN THE OWL CALLS OUR YOUR NAME

They believed that death was imminent when the owl called out their name…

They believed in the magic of life…they treated everyone the same.

 

They believed everyone is family from the moment they arrive

They believed in a world where everyone help everyone to live, and to survive.

 

They had no need for war, no need for armies or police

They believed in working together for harmony and peace.

 

They had no word for thank you…gratitude was undeclared…

There is no need for thank yous when everything is shared.

 

They knew the importance of nature…for all they depend upon.

They knew without the trees, the animals the water…they would all be gone.

 

They had so much to teach us…oh how our world would have been enhanced

If only we would had listened…if we gave their words a chance.

 

But we ignored their wisdom…and our world was not enhanced

yet I wonder if it’s possible…we’ve been given a second chance…

 

To consider their words and meaning

for wouldn’t it be a shame

if we do not listen a second time 

 

before the owl calls out our name.
