Dazzle

Dazzle was born Cree Métis

She married Pascel Garneau

Her brother was John Baptiste

He married Della Sue Nado

Dazzle was the matriarch

She bore a boy and seven girls

She labored from morn ‘til dark

Her family was her world

Pascel was gone herding sheep

While Dazzle kept the farm

Worked all day with little sleep

But she managed to keep her charm

Métis Ridge towered above their place

The children were all schooled at home

A big happy family in a little space

Their home until the children were grown
