I dedicate this poem to the Warriors of the Kiowa Black Leggings
Society, our Veterans. We will participate in the Ceremony this
weekend, May 19 and May 20, 2007.~~Melanie C. Campos |
For You T’ow-Kow-Ghat
When our warriors return
We dance and sing the
Honor and Victory songs
Written and sung
Especially for them
Women sound out lulus
Feeling the pride for our
Men who have come home
To the young and old who
Fought for their people
And we do not forget
The Warriors still fighting
In places far, far away
We are
T'ow-Kow-Ghat!
We are Kiowa ‘n proud!
Feel the presence of those
Who have passed away?
They are here with us
They dance and sing
They talk to the drum
Feel the rhythmical beat
Speaking to us from their heart
‘Grandfathers, we are continuing
This sacred ceremony in your memory’
‘Grandmothers, we dance with
You in our heart and soul’
To the eagles circling above
You are home!
