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 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

This prayer is from the Sioux Indian children of Red Cloud Indian School
