Sharon Bropho - Cooley
RIP
We’ve came a long way,
we’ve stopped now on the Hill,
the Distance is far
as we look back down along the Ways where we came from.
We’ve followed many Pads of ourAncestors.
We’ve camped in and along the Banks of the Swan River.
We’ve crossed many Underground Streams.
We’ve faced Life through Good and Bad.
And still we must move on.
Life is not forever.
There is a Beginning and an End.
We will rest for a while
to prepare You
for your Last Journey
Then we will continue on
looking for Justice and Understanding and
Respect to us for who we really are.
You leave behind your only Daughter, Shavaun
and your Family who are left.
Your Journey will take you
across the Clouded Plains
where your Mother, Aunties, Uncles, Father,Sisters and only Brother await you
Loving you was a Gift of our Togetherness
and that will never leave us
as You move away from us
Forever.
Love and Respect you, Cooley, always.
The Last of the River People, Your Family Clan
and Your Uncle, Robert C. Bropho
