Poetic Novena, Day Four

It being Sunday, it seems appropriate that today's entry be both poem & prayer
O blessed Mother of Mercy
watch over my lady, watch over my lady & her companions
O blessed Brendon, work beside them as they set the walls
O blessed Claire, lay beside them as they sleep
O blessed Brigid be at their heads to guide their dreams
Watch over my lady, blessed Lord,
walk before her to guide her
walk beside her as her companion
walk behind her as champion against the enemy's assaults
Holy Spirit be her light in the night watches
Blessed Father be her strength in the day
Blessed Lord, be her heartbeat at all times
Blessed Trinity, carry this prayer to my Lady
and keep her under your protection
now and beyond the end of days.

So be it.
