As she rocked in her chair How long it had been Since she'd seen them all there Yesterday they were small Playing and learning about life Today they are all grown And each had a wife Life seemed so different For this woman of old Yesterday was gone Would tomorrow hold? Her life had been good As she thought of her past Many blessing had been hers And the years had gone fast By standard of tradition She was old & very wise It was up to her to teach Life seen through her eyes Life's lessons were done She's heard all the drums She was ready for "The Sleep" In life...that always comes She thought of her children As she rocked in her chair She looked down the road Suddenly! They were all there

I must pass in exile, I have only this to say to the Metis, remain Metis, become more Metis than ever." Louis Riel 1875
