Great Spirit

Grandfather, Great Spirit, you created the earth
In all that exists you allow its rebirth

You were here before time and are wiser than we
for you are in all things and you made it all free

Life is a circle with four quarters that cross
The good road, the hard road, our gain and our loss

The joining is sacred where the two paths connect
A time of remembering and a time to reflect

Have I bloomed as you fashioned or have I withered in vain?
The fruit of your making have I caused you great pain?

Lead me Great Father in the decisions I make
Nourish and protect me on the road that I take

Mistakes I'll make
