NANCY WOOD
EARTH PRAYERS
My brother the star, my mother the earth,
My father the sun, my sister the moon
to my life give beauty, toa my body give strength,
to my work give goodness, to my house give peace,
to my spirit give truth, to my elders give wisdom.
We must pray for strength.
We must pray to come together.
Pray to the weeping earth,
pray to the trembling waters
and to the wandering rain.
We must pray to the whispering moon,
pray to the tip-toeing stars.
and to the hollering sun.
