PRAYER TO THE GODS

IT'S NOT EASY WHEN YOU FIND WHAT YOU BEEN SEEKING FOR YEARS,

WHEN JOY REPLACES THE FEARS AND THE TEARS.

I WOULD HAVE NEVER DREAMED IT WOULD HAPPEN FOR ME,

MY HEART IS FULL AND MY SPIRIT ONCE AGAIN IS FREE.

FINDING WORDS TO EXPRESS THE FEELINGS WILL TAKE TIME,

BUT UNTIL THEY READILY COME I WILL TRY WITH RHYME.

TIS LONG AND HARD DAY I FACE,

WHEN I CANNOT BE BLESSED DAILY BY HER GRACE.

I AWAKE WITH A LONGING THAT DOES NOT FADE,

THEN AS SOON AS I HEAR FROM HER I FEEL BLESSED TO HAVE EVER BEEN MADE.

THE GODS I THINK HAVE ONCE AGAIN HEARD MY CRY,

WITHOUT THIS ONE IN MY LIFE I WOULD SURELY DIE.

FEELINGS AEONS OLD WELL UP INSIDE MY HEART,

HOPE IS IT THAT WE EVER DID PART.

I SAY THIS ONLY BECAUSE I SURELY KNOW,

WE WERE ONCE ONE SO VERY LONG AGO.

I AM NOW CHARGED WITH A HONORABLE TASK TO FULFILL,

I MUST BECOME WORTHY ENOUGH AGAIN TO FILL THIS BILL.

TO PROVIDE AND PROTECT FOR EVER MORE,

TO HOLD, LOVE AND CHERISH FOR SURE.

I ONLY WANT TO BE ALL SHE DOTH DESIRE,

SO THAT NOTHING CAN EVER QUENCH OUR FIRE.

HERE ME GODS AND GODDESSES, HEAR MY PLEA,

I BESEECH YOU NOW ON BENDED KNEE.

BLESS MY LOVE AND I, KEEP US SAFE FOREVER MORE,

BLESS OUR LOVE WHICH IS STRONG AND PURE.

MAY WE LOOK UPON EACH AND EVERY DAY,

KNOWING THAT WE SHALL FIND OUR WAY.

HERE BEFORE GODS AND MAN, I DEDICATE MY LOVE TO THEE,

I SHALL BECOME WORTHY OF YOUR LOVE FOR ME.
