The Blessing

By: Germanwolf

One of the first to settle the land,

Ulfa in need of a helpmate and wife,

A prayer to the gods that they would understand,

Brought forth was Ursula to complete life.

Many sons they desired to nurture and teach,

Days, months and years they waited and prayed.

The desires of their hearts just out of reach.

All hope dissolving, hearts heavy and hurting,

The gods gazed down with interest to see,

If faith, hope and love continued their keeping,

For their divine plan brought joy, hope and glee.

Her day had arrived pain, labor all done,

Not one, nor two but three blessed sons.
