Prayer to Baldur

Baldur4 Hail Bright One of Asgard,

Favorite Son who came to ashes.

You who fled your destiny

Only to see it come true,

Help me to see what must be done

And have the courage to do it,

Even when it will hurt those I love

And who love me, beyond cost.

Teach me how to show them

That walking the destined road

Straightaway, without hesitation

Is the path of less pain in the end.

Teach me how to show myself

That it will all come right in the end,

And that if does not come right

There is solace in finding

Something good in the rubble.

Help me, Bright One,

Torch in the darkness,

Light the hard path I must walk

And let me not mistake it

For the whim of an evil Universe.

Baldur
