In my youth
the world and life,
I needed not anything but
peace of heart,
And yet I changed despite myself
and believed in Iktumi's lies.
He seemed to know all the truth,
he promised to make me happy.
He made me ask for Wakantanka for wealth,
that I might have power ;
I was given poverty, that I
might find my inner strength.
I asked for fame,
so others would know me ;
I was given obscurity,
that I might know myself.
I asked for a person to love that I
might never be alone ;
I was given the life of hermit, that I
might learn to accept myself.
I asked for power, that I
might achieve ;

I was given weakness, that I
might learn to obey.
I asked for health, that I
might lead a long life ;
I was given infirmity, that I
might appreciate each minute.
I asked Mother Earth for strength,
that I might have my way ;
I was given weakness, that I
might feel the need for her.
I asked to live happily, that I
might enjoy life ;
I was given life, that I might
live happily
I received nothing I asked for,
yet all my wishes came true.
Despite myself and Iktumi,
my dreams were fulfilled, I am richly blessed
more than I ever hoped.
I thank you Wakantanka,
for what you have given me.
