Celtic Warrior Princess

Celtic Warrior Princess

 

In our tribe

there is nothing

or nobody

Ordinary or mundane.

Superhero siblings,

parents of perennial power,

Children whose lives

bring endless charm.

All move planets

and plan and pray

To keep each other

safe from harm.

 

Heroic battles still take place

though some don't see

your pain,

But you are the

Celtic Warrior Princess,

Brave and unbroken,

with daily dragons

successfully slain,

We celebrate with songs

and tales forever spoken.

 

And this year,

as in all the years before

and all those that remain,

You bring light to the winter,

our sweet solstice flame.
