"We will be known by the tracks we leave behind"...Lakota Proverb


O' Great Spirit on High
Guide us through Your day.
The day you created for us, here on Mother Earth.
When you opened the windows of Your Sun,
and brought forth light.
When the shadow of the Moon created the night.

Help us leave tracks behind that we know will say........
O' Great Spirit, we know you created all things for us.
We love your creatures, and in your splendid way,
help us to find our trail here below.......
Leaving tracks behind that never mistreated another living soul!

May our tracks that we leave behind be light and tender.....
Give us the courage of your Great Black Bear.
Who wanders alone, here on this earthly terrain.....
Unafraid, unintimidated, standing tall,
standing strong with your Great Aid!

And lest we n'er forget O' Great Father of all Life,
May we leave tracks behind, so others may follow
and see our rebirth.
An appreciation of what you gave,
Never wasted just to be saved!

You trusted us, and placed all your creations under our feet.

Your Magnificent, Majestic Mountains we look high to see.
Waterfalls and rippling stream.
Jumping Rainbow Trout, all about.
Your visions of all things green.
Nature's Soothing Scene.....

We know you are here with us now.
For proof of your presence is all around us.
Everywhere we look it's You we see!
Rams on a steep rocky precipice....
Or a newborn fawn protected underneath Your tree.

May the tracks you left behind for us O' Father of the Sun and Moon.
Show us Your Plan.......help us to understand.
And finally Great One of the Skies....
Help us show in our last tracks as we leave them behind......
that we followed your plan......
That we loved your land.........

Let us leave tracks behind that are pronounced,
Everything accomplished in Your Time. O' Magnificent One!
After we have followed Your Trail......
May our tracks leave behind Your Message...
Saying "Well Done!"

This is Big Bear speaking...........to You.

Lovingcritters is my Indian name because I
have 5 dogs, and love all creatures small and tall, wild or tame.............
