In my barren garden
Hands in the dirt
I plant the Three Sisters
With hope as a gentle guide
The corn sister stands tall
Reaching the sky
Ready to be a support
She is a beacon of peace
The bean sister comes next
Climbing the stalks
Giving back to the soil
Living out her compassion
The squash sister is last
Covering the ground
Relieving summer heat
With her broad leaves of love
The three sisters grow
Rising in peace
Giving through compassion
Covering everything with love
A bounty in my garden
Three Sisters bring
Peace, Compassion, Love
May it be so in my life
