 The Seven Grandfather Teachings : A Fold Poem

They call him turtle oh so slow

He's not a bird not a  swift or eagle

Pondering the life as it should go

With teeth as of the beaver  no lies to chew

Gathering  yet the truths oh so slow

He weaves a testament solid

Scales on his back harden you know

Enough to shelter the culture

Life can be humbling wolf will say so

Him with others make up the whole

Courageous like mother bear but oh so slow
