Once, years ago,
on a far off tropical isle
in a forest ranger building
built high up in trees
so wild pigs would not disturb
The woman who brings peace
foretold in name by her grandmother
was born by her mother
witnessed by her father
The soft island breezes
brought a friend and a stranger
women guided like the wise men
to see this gift to the world
She was destined
by the moon and stars
and cradled by the earth itself
