Prayer to Sif
by Tamara D.
Bride of thunder and lightning
Who calms the terrible storm,
Bride of war and fighting
Who offers the peaceful horn,
Sleeping fool of Loki
Who let bygones stay that way,
Teach me how to grit my teeth
And soften what I say.
Teach me that all hating
Is poison to the mind,
That no attempt at peacemaking
Goes unnoticed by your kind,
That when I hold my hand out
You notice and you smile,
Even when I am rebuffed
I am your hand and eye.
I thank you, golden lady
All unafraid of strife,
Spread your peace throughout my home
And throughout all my life.
