Make my eyes ever behold
The red and purple sunsets.
Make me wise so that I may know
The things you have taught my people,
The lessons you have hidden
In every leaf and rock.
Make me ever ready to come to you
With clean hands and straight eye.
So that when life fades
As the fading sunset,
My spirit may come to you
Without shame.
