Our Daily Bread

---

Life is very hectic
and we live at such a pace
that no one pauses anymore
at table to say grace.
A moment stolen from the crush
and worry of great haste
would give the simplest of repasts
a very tempting taste.
We do not count our blessings
but our calories instead.
And cringe at all the carbs contained
within our daily bread.
It seems we have to make
of every morsel at a meal
a wearying and calculated
balancing ordeal.
How much simpler would it be
to start each meal with thanks,
then plow into some goulash
or a bowl of beans and franks.
When God is at our table
he'll turn water into wine,
and forgive our trespasses
with butter and with brine.
