A Bow Hunter’s Prayer
0 Lord, I am a hunter And life I seek to take
But let me not attempt the shot
Beyond my skill to make
For Lord they are your creatures
Given for our use
But each one falls within your sight
They're not for our abuse
And when I lose my arrow
Please guide it swift and true
Or let it miss completely,
Lord That pain be not undue
A clean kill or no kill,
Lord Such is my heart's
desire
Give me the skill to make it so
Or let me hold my fire
And when my time upon this earth
The days they are fulfilled
Grant that I may die at least
As clean as those I killed
Amen
Archery Serenity Prayer
Grant me the serenity,
To accept the things
I cannot change (The Bow);
The courage to change
the things
I can
(The Self - Until the Self
deserves the Bow);
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Amen.
