The Isle of Arran
Where my ancestors
Prayed,
birthed their children,
Spoke Gaelic,
grew their food and
Prepared their Medicine
for over 300 years
This land is fertile, lush and sacred
It was an honor to
bring my daughter and
pray with the ancestors
Thank you to my great grandmothers Mary McNeil, Mary Crawford and Isabela to my
Grandfathers William and Donald McKelvie and Allen McNeil
Thank you to the sacred waters that
flow from this land
Thank you to the bounty of the sea-
The mother ocean
Thank you to the land-
Green pastures and forests
To all the people who have
‘come before me and
Prayed on these lands
Thank you
May we find our way home
Into our hearts
May we remember
How to prepare our medicine
Respect the ancestors and
Take care of our mother
May we teach our children
how to Pray with
Open hearts
To all my relations
I give thanks
May i learn how to
serve the generations to come
Giving thanks
With a open heart
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
