What I love about a Pow wow

It's Pow wow time once again
People gather catching up with old friends.
Families prepare for the long day
Dressing, and primping in the traditional way.

The drums get ready for heartbeat to begin
Dancers all ready, waiting to walk in.
The MC at the mic ready to speak
Soon it will be time to dance to the

Frybread cooking, the smell is in the air
It's pow wow time the best time of the year!
Crafts everywhere made by traditional hands
No better place to be in this Native land.

The Circle starts filling with dancers galore
Elders and youth and tiny tots by the score
Hats removed and etiquette shown
For the first peoples in this land that we call home.

Veterans walk in carrying their flags
Eyes getting misty for the respect they had
The sky so bright blue, it takes your breath away
An Eagle flying overhead just makes the day!

Soon it will end everyone will leave
There will be hugs and handshakes and smiles I believe
For the pow wow never ends, it always comes back
This is Indian country, as a matter of fact.

No matter how far, no matter how long
The first peoples will be there alive and strong
There is no better place to be
Then going to pow wow, believe you me!
