| An Indian Prayer
Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear In the wind and whose breath Gives life to all the world, hear me. Let me walk in beauty through all of my days. May my eyes ever behold sunrise Freshness and sunset glory. Make my hands respect the things You have made and my ears sharp To hear your many voices. I am small and weak. I need your strength and wisdom. Make me wise, that I may learn the Lessons you teach my people, The lessons you have hidden In every leaf and rock. I seek strength—not to be superior to my brothers, but to be able to Fight my greatest enemy—myself O Great Spirit, hear me, Make me ready, so when life fades To a last sunset, my spirit Will come to you without shame. —– Author unknown |
