Cherokee Prayer

God in heaven above
please protect the ones we love.
We honor all you created as we pledge
our hearts and lives together.

We honor mother-earth
    - and ask for our marriage to be abundant
    and grow stronger through the seasons;

We honor fire
    - and ask that our union be warm
    and glowing with love in our hearts;

We honor wind
    - and ask we sail though life
    safe and calm as in our father's arms;

We honor water
    - to clean and soothe our relationship
    - that it may never thirsts for love;

With all the forces of the universe you created,
we pray for harmony and true happiness as we forever grow young together.

Amen.
