Food Prayer

By Sean October 2005

The source of drink and food  let us remember

To give thanks daily from January to December.

Nutured by nature's bounty sun and rain

To the maker of all  we speak very plain.

May this meal help us to common cause

Respecting no harm as we give pause.

May all the holy future, present, and  past

Feed our minds at this sacred repast.

Those that sit thank the cook's labor and skill

Then enumerate those that need grace to fill.

We change the speaker so all can partake

Offer up words for the makers sake.

The list may be long or short depends on time

Does not have to be profound or end in rythme.
