When I was still working in the city this was pinned to my cubicle wall right by my computer. I thought it is more than worth sharing with anyone who may read my blog. This is dedicated to my Mother's family who were part American Indian from the Mohawk Tribe who lived mostly in northern New York State and Canada.
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 and 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.
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 and 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.
