Bless the morning,
bless the light.
Bless the darkness
from which we sprang.
Bless our breakfast,
the biscuits, gravy.
Bless this table,
the wood it’s made of.
Bless the trees and bees,
the wind, the birds that sing.
Bless those who work,
the work they do.
Bless those who bless us, Lord,
and everything. Amen.
(Tom Montag, In This Place: Selected Poems 1982-2013)
