Apache Prayer
May the sun bring you
new energy by day,
May the moon softly
restore you by night,
May the rain wash
away your worries,
May the breeze blow
new strength into your being,
May you walk gently through
the world and know its beauty
all the days of your life.
The Hummingbird

Oh, see the little hummingbird
Who flies with speed of light .
Your beauty is astounding
And you're perfect in your flight
I hope that when I finally die
That I can be like you.
And fly above the lovely world
And take in all the view.
Dancing flowers, gazing up at me
Yellow purple, pink and blue
My tiny wings a-fluttering as fast as they can go
To get me to a place I yearn
Down in New Mexico
I'm getting close. I smell the breeze the red buds I can see. On the old wood porch of Stonehouse is where I want to be.....
