"Kwa-elsia, dear one, your name echoes through my heart
A melody of love, a symphony that never departsYour spirit, strong and gentle, like the morning dew
Guided me through life's journey, with love that's forever true
In the traditional ways, you walked with pride
A proud Indigenous woman, with a heart full of love inside
Your laughter, like the salmon's leap, joyful and free
A celebration of life, a gift to me
As I walk this earth, I'll carry your teachings on
The stories, the songs, the traditions that you've shown
I'll honor your legacy, your love, your light
A daughter's promise, to carry on, through the dark of night
Kwa-elsia, dear one, your spirit now soars
Dancing with the ancestors, on the other side of the doors
I'll miss your loving touch, your warm, gentle care
But your love remains, a guiding light, that's always there
In the silence, I'll hear your voice
Whispers of wisdom, guiding me to a peaceful choice
The wind, the trees, the rivers wide
Remind me of your love, Kwa-elsia, my guide"
