The Gods before Me

[Bartman]

The Gods Before Me
The Gods before me on my way,
they show me how to walk life´s road.
The Gods behind me shield my back
against the things I can´t foresee.
The Gods beside me, left and right,
give strength and counsel on my path.
The Gods above me shelter me,
in wayward weather I walk safe.
The Gods beneath me give me power,
and help me up if I should fall.
The Gods within me comfort me
and always keep me company.

[Bartman]

This poem reminds me how the Divine is all around us,all we have to do is listen!!

Son of Deed

(1st stave is repeated as the Burden.)

Thor, Son of Deed, Mighty Do-er
Your name has spread, across Midgarth
Thor Odinsson, Will to His Wit
Innangard's Fist, Worlds' Traveler

Black storm clouds rise, thunderclaps roll
Asa Thor rides, Ettins to slay
Mankind's Old Friend, guarding the Weal
Strength in action, as we should be

Thor of the North, common man's friend
Fighting Ettins, with Mjollnir
Swiftly it strikes, just like a bolt
Out of the blue, brightly, then gone
- Burden -

Stories in Lore, tell of his deeds
Stout warrior, hearty and hale
Fist to the fore, striking the foes
Of Asgard's tribes, and of all Life

Hammer and gloves, broad brazen belt
Protecting Folk, from ill intent
Strength upon strength, power for right
Quickly He strikes, always does act
- Burden -

Gold lightning flash, crosses blue sky
Nary a cloud, is within sight
What could this be, this spark above
Fault in my eyes, or other thing

Without a storm, on a cool day
How can this be, lightning bolt thrown
Nature teasing, Godly message
The latter I, do think calmly
- Burden -

Lesson I think, is to Act Now
Strive always to, do what is right
Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose
But overall, we build the Good

Black storm clouds rise, thunderclaps roll
Asa Thor rides, Ettins to slay
Mankind' Old Friend, guarding the Weal
Strength in action, as we should be
- Burden -
