O Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds
whose breath gives life to the world
Hear me
I come to You as one of your many children
I am small and weak I need your strength and your wisdom
May I walk in beauty
Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset
Make my hands respect the things that you have made
and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise - so that I may know the things that you have taught your children
the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
Make me strong not to be superior to my brothers
but to be able to fight my greatest enemy: Myself
Make me ever ready to come to You with straight eyes,
So that when life fades - as the fading sunset
My spirit will come to You without shame.
