Bastet Ancient Egyptian Goddess
Bastet Goddess of protection, health and pleasure, oh, queen.
Goddess of the Rising Sun, you are every day seen
Riding through the sky with Ra, protecting him.
From the serpent Apep, your light is not dim.
Thanks to you cats are demi-deities in Egypt even today.
Revered for their magic, and they keep the rodents away!
Thought to be you in physical form, they are revered.
Lady of the East, by serpents, you are still totally feared.
Bastet, as during the second dynasty, your legacy is safe today.
We think of you as these marvelous cats shoo the vermin away.
At night we know you remain here, keeping safe your father Ra.
In the form of a cat, and we worship you; we are in awe.
