Native American Poetry

I discovered the beautiful writings of the Native Americans. Although most are meant to be as prayers i couldn't help but look at it as a poem. Where i live used to be major hunting grounds for the Cherokee Indians....so i feel sorta connected in a way with the life and culture that has long been gone from our land.

~Cherokee Prayer~

As I walk the trail of life
in the fear of the wind and rain,
grant O Great Spirit
that I may always walk
like a man
