oath-of-the-ancestors-(ritual-of-gratitude)

If you had a good dad,

let him know today If your

story was harder,

let your heart still speak Through

every road that brought you here

I'm grateful for the chance to

live

Every path is different Every story

leaves a mark Some gave love,

some gave only life But life

is where my journey starts Thank

you for the life

Thank you for this breath

Whether you stayed or walked away

I'm standing here today Thank you

for the life

I'll carry it with pride

Through every storm and every dawn

I'll keep this fire alive

Maybe you were always there

Maybe you were only a name

Maybe all you gave was life

But that gift still changed everything

I choose what I become

I choose the road ahead

The past may shape my story

But it won't decide my end

I release the hurt

I keep the strength I honor

the beginning And I build

the rest

Thank you for the life

Thank you for this breath

No matter how the story starts

The future's mine to write Thank

you for the life

I'll carry it with pride

From this moment forward I'll keep

this fire alive
