  15. An Indian’s Prayer O Father, Whose voice I hear in the winds and Whose breath gives life to the world, hear me. I am a man before you, one of your many children, 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 sunsets. Make my hands respect the things you have made, my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise so that I may know the things You have taught my people The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock. I seek strength, Father, not to be superior to my brothers, But to able to fight my worst enemy, Myself. Make me ever ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes, So that when life fades as the fading sunset, My spirit may come to your without shame. Tom Whitecloud II, M.D. Chippewa (1914-1972)
