Mjolnir
Oh Mjolnir, soar to this open hand
I have learned the lessons taught by All-Father Odin
See my humility and feel my humble nature
Deem me worthy of your miraculous wonders
Allow me the power granted to the god of thunder
Gift me with the strength to lift your infinite weight
That I might also bare the world on these once unworthy shoulders
Impart me with the magic to strike with living lightning
The evil in the hearts and minds of fear-mongering hateful souls
To level mountains of pride piled up to the endless sky
To bring justice to this planet of hypocrites and thieves
To end unnatural death forced upon innocent lives
Who seek peace and nurture love in their finite space
To do these things I will gladly sacrifice myself at Ragnarock
And live eternally among the heroes in the hallways of Valhalla
I have learned the lessons taught by All-Father Odin
See my humility and feel my humble nature
Deem me worthy of your miraculous wonders
Allow me the power granted to the god of thunder
Gift me with the strength to lift your infinite weight
That I might also bare the world on these once unworthy shoulders
Impart me with the magic to strike with living lightning
The evil in the hearts and minds of fear-mongering hateful souls
To level mountains of pride piled up to the endless sky
To bring justice to this planet of hypocrites and thieves
To end unnatural death forced upon innocent lives
Who seek peace and nurture love in their finite space
To do these things I will gladly sacrifice myself at Ragnarock
And live eternally among the heroes in the hallways of Valhalla

Deep! I like the proposition here,even though I don't grasp the personality to who this magical request is been made. Nice poem altogether,good write.
Thank you for commenting Jewels! I wrote this for the competition mythological creatures. For those who have some knowledge of Norse mythology, it will make more sense but for those who read Marvel comics or have seen the movies they have made in recent years of both Thor and the Avengers, it will have a very clear meaning. In the comics and movies, Odin, the All-Father and creator of Mjolnir, inscribed on Thor's hammer, "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor". Odin did so when he deemed Thor no longer worthy to hold Mjolnir or possess his godly powers. I've been reading Thor and Avengers comics for 47 years and it would take a very long time to explain but over the years there have only been a few characters who were worthy enough to lift Mjolnir, Captain America being one. So as you can imagine, being deemed worthy by Mjolnir, through the magic imbued upon it by Odin would be the highest honor imaginable to a fan of Thor.
