Mrs. Inez & Family,

Native American Prayer

I give you this one thought to keep
I am with you still, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the sweet uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone,
I am with you still in each new dawn.

Our thoughts & prayers are with you all now & in the difficult days ahead.

Love,
Susan, Dwayne, Shelby & Sydney

May the Lord bless you.
