Hestia

[underflow]

Hestia, granter of comfort, ease of mind,
warmth and security, of safety within
the solid walls of home, of belonging,
of the balanced center of our being;
Hestia, I thank you for your many gifts.
Open-hearted you are, your strength and aid
given freely to any who may ask,
to any whose need you see, whose spirit
you lift, whose hand you steady. Hestia,
gentle goddess, lover of peace and calm,
of the heart of the home, of the hearth's
soft fires, worthy of all praise, I honor you.
