May Your Road Be Fulfilled

MAY YOUR ROAD BE FULFILLED

Do not despise the breath of your fathers,
But Draw it into your body.
That our roads may reach to where the life-giving road of our sun father comes out,
That, clasping one another tight,
Holding one another fast,
We may finish our roads together;
That this may be, I add to your breath now.
To this end:
May my father bless you with life;
May your road reach to Dawn Lake,
May your road be fulfilled.
