A lesson of life
Of will to concede
A good day begins
With the soul to feed
A setting of stillness
In silence to be
With a prayer of grace
And a bowl that’s empty
We find now awaiting
Our friend at the door
To open with joy
The light here in pours
With armfuls of love
Divine gifts to shower
A great celebration
The Word to devour
Gather the bounty
Of this joyous feast
In sharing this day
It will be increased
