My Ancestral Poem

My Ancestral Poem       

I am a proud Samoan Warrior.

A warrior that has pride,

A warrior that never gives up,

A warrior that works hard and tries to be the best.

My ancestors stay within me by flesh, bone and blood

They are always there, to cool me down they give me signs that they are around

My ancestors are the rock,

The shield that reflects my curiosity

My ancestors are the wind,

Howling to me our family secret

My ancestors are the waves,

Spiritually watching, guiding and protecting me.

To make sure I am safe.

My ancestors are at war, fighting for my sins that I must ask forgiveness

I will forever remember who made me, where I come from and remember especially my ancestors.

By Simon
