St Chris & St Joe,
I'm scared,
don't you know?
of the dangers
about while I'm flying.
St. John & St. Mark,
I'm scared of the dark,
& the monsters that lurk
while I'm lying.
St. Peter & Paul,
come one, please,
come all,
ask from G-d now for me
a protection.
In light or in dark,
in city or park,
guide me
be near me
to fight
the forces that would try & outdo me.
I'm a lover, good Lord,
but aye, yes, can afford
to put up a good fight if I have to.
St. Nick & St. Susan,
by night I'll be cruising
so find me a way
back to home.
Oh find me a way
and light me, I pray
for the dragons do soar
and now threaten.
I thank ye, my saints
and bid ye o haints
don't waste yer time haunting
nor wailing.
Oh good glory, God,
bless me & my squad,
as we go on manly business
hearken our prayers,
brush of our nightmares,
& God bring us home to our folk.
Amen.

THis poem had a lovely flow to it....
and it brought to memory my catholic girlfriend....
when I was young....
on sleepovers...I'd pray my heartfelt prayer,
and end up blessing every one I could think of
including their pets....
just to finish at the same time with her...
goodness...there are a lot of saints!
well...at least everyone, and I do mean
everyone...got blessed!
thankyou for sharing your tender poem!
