to Henry Lee Hunt with Love



you loved the ocean, my Friend, do you remember ???
when you were free you loved to go there to fish …. and enjoy life.

now you are free again and i want to give you today this ocean between us full of fishes and the most wonderful stars,
because today is a good day to live, not to die.
and Henry, you live in my heart forever.
you are a warrior and warriors don’t disappear like that.


in your last letter, you said
"Continue to fight never give up."
i’m trying, Henry, even in the darkest days i’m trying hard.

all these years you are here right in front giving me strenght.
i look into your eyes and i can hear a whisper,
don't stop, let's go .... let's freedom ring ....

this is my modest tribute to you.
i don’t speak Lumbee so, in my Indian way i say
Cante etanhan owoglake (speaking from the heart),
Until we meet again !!!!

With my Love, Always !!!!
lu
