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 THING 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 THAT
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 FADING SUNSET
MY SPIRIT WILL COME
TO YOU WITHOUT SHAME.
Happy New Year To All...
John
