| Soft winds bathed in beauty Smoke of peace ascends Magic of this beauty As darkness soon descends. Puff of clouds that enter Peaceful quite plain Words of spoken message In life that will remain. Prayers of life in air now Gathered in soft light Raising to the heavens Magnificence so bright Stars are brighly shining Trail of smoke now looms Eyes will see the shadows As sun becomes the moon. Look to see the wonder Of beauty of the night The moon will bask in beauty As shooting stars delight. Gentleness and quiet Becomes the gift conceived. While silenty you gather The blessings you'll receive. ~Francine Pucillo~ (C) with permission |

| "What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the winter time. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itelf in the sunset". Crowfoot, Blackfoot Elder |
| Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth. Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself. Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here. Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go. Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you. Pueblo Blessing |
