Breakfast Grace

Lord we gather
Dad has gone
May his new job
Come along
May these children
Love their school
Give their teachers
Courteous rule
May they learn
To heart’s content
Treasure scripture
What it meant.
May I find
When all is done
Just a moment
You alone
Just a word
For these I love
And your comfort
From above
It’s been hard
These months
Of stress
But your Hand
Was there to bless
And perhaps
A part-time chore
Just for me
To help our store.
All these thoughts
O’er simple fare
Precious, knowing
You are there.
