Native American Poem

My sister found this Native American saying and asked me to read it at her wedding ceremony last week. We have a bit of Iroquois blood in us from my mom's side, and I think this is an Apache blessing. But I love this simplicity of it no matter where it came from. It's been in my head ever since.

May the sun bring you new energies by day.
May the moon softly restore you by night.
May the rain wash away any worries you may have,
And the breeze blow new strength into your being.


And then, all the days of your life,
May you walk gently through the world
and know its beauty and yours.
