The Lord's Prayer In Abenaki
|
Don't stand by my grave and weep
For I'm not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamonds glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in mornings hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circle flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die
Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web
we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
All things connect.

Make My Words Sweet and Reasonable
