The Brave defeats fear

The promise birthed a new born day
In ancient rites to bloom the brave.
Tradition spells the time is ripe
As wisdom falls without a gripe.

The bold and fearless paths entwine
Bequest the tribe that now is time.
As day anew he will be too,
Matured to take the clan ensue.

The spirit, gentle spirit quest,
Beliefs on Mesa turns to rest.
Before the time to rule his race,
For he’s seen nature face to face.
