Prayer for Those Lost Young

By ThorsWitch, Beliefnet Member

Frau Holda, Dark Lady, Who rides at the head of the Wild Hunt,

It is to You that the young go when they leave Midgard so soon.

There are many who are on their way.

When they come to Your gates, open them wide,

Let your realm be a warm welcome to them,

where the pain of their passing will drift from their memories

and they will know peace.

Too often

Too many

Too little attention

To warnings and cries for help

Too few answers

Too many questions

Too much blood

To ever fade from our hands

Great Lady, they are Yours now

But many are left behind,

those with pain unimaginable,

from a loss that leaves the heart and soul

torn with wounds that will never fully heal...

and those who know only what they see and hear

but whose hearts break anyway

Help us to know what to do

Where to turn

What to say

How to listen and really hear

Before You have to welcome any more...

So may it always be.
