A Prayer to Martin the Warrior
By
Foxpiper
I pray to you, Martin, our guardian of Redwall,
Please protect our families and friends above all;
Keep our spirits soaring and show us the way,
And remind us to be strong each and every day.
Look after the dibbuns as they frolic around,
Running across the abbey’s soft and grassy ground;
Keep a careful watch over the elders as well,
Especially when they pass by the slow, steady knell.
Guard our gates from foebeasts and vermin of all kind,
For no good comes from creatures with murder in mind;
The inhabitants of Redwall shall always know your essence,
When you enter their lives with your welcoming presence.
This is all I ask of you, Martin of Redwall Abbey,
To keep a vigil over our sacred sanctuary;
And when I draw near to Dark Forest’s shadows,
Please guide me to the warm, summer meadows.
