A Hunter's Prayer

I had a recent traumatic event two days ago, one I hope to never experience again.  But as I get older, and the one's close to me do as well, I probably will.  These thoughts came to me in the aftermath.  With the big game hunting seasons starting in many areas stay safe, stay warm, hug the one's you love, and cherish the memories....in the end it's all we'll have. 🦌

A Hunter’s Prayer 

Dear Lord, although it may be hard

For some to understand

We thank you for the opportunity

To hunt this great land

Hunting traditions are as old as the mountains

 

With a bounty like an overflowing fountain

 

We hunt to provide for our families

 

A bonus enjoying all of nature’s harmonies

Bless us with good aim, but most of all

Bless the quarry we hope to claim

Keep us safe and in Your care

As we add to memories we hold dear

And if by some fate we don’t return home

Guide our souls to greater glories known.

🐝
