An Indian Prayer

O' Great Spirit Whose voice
I hear in the winds,
And Whose breath gives
life to all the world,
hear me, I am small and
weak, I need your strength
and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty,
and make my eyes ever behold
the red purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the
things you have made and my
ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may
understand the things You
have taught my people,
Let me learn the lessons You
have hidden in every
leaf and rock,
I seek strength not to be
greater than my brother, but
to fight my greatest enemy,
myself.
Make me always ready to come
to You with clean hands
and straight eyes,
So when life fades, as the
fading sunset, my spirit may
come to you without shame.
