Gifts - A Prayer
O Great Spirit, O Great Mystery
We give thanks
For your medicine gifts
Of Sage, cedar, sweetgrass and tobacco
Through the pipe and the smudge
We offer to the four directions
Our prayer of thanks.
We pray that the sweet odour
Of your gifts
May reach out to the four corners
and bring all into harmony,
We thank you
For all cleansing, healing, balance ad harmony. - Doris Cyrette
