Breath of the Great Spirit
The Great Spirit moves in wind and bone,
In mountain silence and eagle cry.
He is the unseen fire in our lungs,
The sky that listens when we pray.
Mother Earth gathers each seed we bury,
Turning sorrow into corn and light.
What we give to her sacred body,
Returns as dawn after the longest night.

When the Soul Speaks
Still the noise of restless thought,
Let the cedar smoke drift slow.
In quiet, the ancestors gather,
Soft as snowfall on buffalo plains.
The dreamcatcher turns in twilight wind,
Catching whispers of unseen wings.
When the mind bows to sacred silence,
The soul remembers how to sing.

The Land Remembers Its Name
Before fences learned to speak,
the soil already knew our stories.
Footprints bloom like cedar smoke,
circling back to the first sunrise.
No map can silence the mountains,
no border can quiet the sky.
The land breathes through ancient footsteps,
whispering, I was, I am, I remain.

Different Like Thunder
They called me different as if it were winter,
yet my heart burned like prairie lightning.
Each scar turned into a feathered prayer,
each silence into a drumbeat of becoming.
I walk with the voices beneath the soil,
names carried by rivers without apology.
Difference is not a wound but a doorway,
where spirits enter singing their truth.

Honor Is Not Worn, It Is Remembered
A hummingbird cuts the air like prayer,
its wings sewing stories between generations.
Choice belongs to the wandering road,
but honor lives where the ancestors breathe.
The river knows every true name spoken softly,
even those buried beneath new flags.
To belong is not to claim the land,
it is to walk gently enough that it welcomes you back.

Faces That Carry the First Morning
These are the eyes that watched the first sun rise,
The first prayers spoken under endless skies.
Not strangers here—this soil knows our name,
Each heartbeat rooted in ancestral flame.
If you look closely, you will understand:
This is not history, this is living land.
The past still walks beside us, proud and strong—
The first ones here, where we belong.

In 1961, Your mother Holt married bank manager Gilbert LaPiere, who adopted Cher (under the name Cheryl LaPiere) and Georganne, and enrolled them at Montclair College Preparatory School, a private school in Encino, whose students were mostly from affluent families. The school's upper-class environment presented a challenge for Cher; biographer Connie Berman wrote, "[she] stood out from the others in both her striking appearance and outgoing personality." A former classmate commented, "I'll never forget seeing Cher for the first time. She was so special ... She was like a movie star, right then and there ... She said she was going to be a movie star and we knew she would." Despite not being an excellent student, Cher was intelligent and creative, according to Berman. She earned high grades, excelling in French and English classes. As an adult, she discovered that she had dyslexia. Cher's unconventional behavior stood out: she performed songs for students during the lunch hours and surprised peers when she wore a midriff-baring top.She later recalled, "I was never really in school. I was always thinking about when I was grown up and famous.
