Indian Prayer

Published:

Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the wind

    Hear me, for I am young,  small and weak

        I need your strength and wisdom

 

        I seek strength, oh Great One,

    not to be superior to my brothers,

but to conquer my greatest enemy, myself

 

  I seek wisdom, the lessons you have

      hidden in every leak and rock,

so that I may learn and carry those messages

      of life and hope to my people

 

    May my hands always respect

the many beautiful things you have made,

 my ears be sharp to hear your voice.

May I always walk in your beauty

  and let my eyes ever behold

  the red &  purple sunsets

 

 So when life fades, like the setting sun,

 my spirit will come to you without shame.

                  I have spoken.
