Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Each one, on their own,
a prayer before the cereal,
the juice, the berries,
stopping, bowing their heads
Each one in turn
offering a prayer,
calling on grace
before breakfast
No prompting, not a word
no grace said by the adults
in the still waking house
They each thanked God
one, two, three
for the daily bread
and asked God
to use them that day
