I wrote this during the border crisis before the pandemic. Even if things are slightly improved I suspect the prayer is still needed. I meant this to be a prayer to Brigid, using one of her names Bride.

Prayer to Bride

My Lady, Bride of the shining Sun

For the families that come to the land of immigrants

Seeking sanctuary

Only to be torn apart

By those sworn to protect and secure

Who have been turned into a weapon of war

May your fire burn in their hearts

for the children told they were safe

Only to be alone among strangers

May your fire bring small hearts comfort

For the Mothers and Fathers

Fearing for their family’s lives

Being told their lives are worthless

May your fire protect and guide

for those who stand

To unite families

Defend the innocent

Change our laws

May your fire of strength be in their hearts

Bride, my lady of fire

May all families be united

To find sanctuary

Comfort

And Love

Lady Bride, Allow your flames to engulf the land
