You breathed life into me

You taught me to stand strong

You taught me to be patient

You taught me compassion and discernment

You gave me a path to walk

You taught me knowledge through pain

You taught me holiness in silence

You taught me openness to instruction

You taught me to embrace the Runes

You blessed me

You taught me my purpose

You taught me magic

You taught me to claim myself

You taught me to honor my Ancestors

May I never say

“I was never blessed!”

May I never say

“You are not with me!”

May I never say

“I do not know you!”

For all the pain

For all the lessons

For all the failures

For all the successes

You have always been there

Even if I had not the eyes to see You

Or the ears to hear Your Voice

Hail to You, Allfather!
