Gabrielinos Origin Tale
A Traditional Tale
Gabrielinos Origin Tale
Tale
I know not if the voice of man can reach to the sky;
I know not if the mighty one will hear as I pray;
I know not if the gifts I ask will all granted be;
I know not if the world of old we truly can hear;
I know not what will come to pass in our future days;
I hope that only good will come, my children, to you.
Comments
We've recently been told that this "Origin Tale" is not the Gabrielinos' Origin Tale but rather someone's personal prayer.
However, we do believe it comes from a Gabrielinos person.
