ARAPAHO BLESSING
I live quietly among you I do not make any demands But walk amidst you in the columbine I place prayer beads in your hands
You can achieve anything you want to You have purpose and a strength But I love your quiet ways The gentleness of your days Your acceptance of all whom you see Like you, I am quiet and free
Though I walk with you in spirit A papoose secured to my back I see how you have made it And I walk with you as you attract
Lightness of beings sages of long ago Angels of the mountain Tenderness of the Arapaho
I will come and I will go As the wind blows from the west I will gently kneel beside you The Arapaho has blessed
