I wrote an autumn prayer-poem of praise for small blessings based on my meal this weekend, and I hope you enjoy it. Please share it on social media if you love it!
An Autumn Prayer-Poem of Praise for Small Blessings
Lord, I thank you
for autumn lunches
full of nurturing.
I praise you
for the crunch of kale
whose iron binds
with citric acid
in piquant cranberries
and crisp cabbage
to infuse my red blood cells
with strength they need
while the salad sings and dances
on my palate.
I praise you
for wonderfully crafting
butternut squash
to blend so smooth
with onions, celery, butter
nutmeg, turmeric, salt
flour, bay, broth, and cream
then transform
into an almost cheesy goodness
a cozy sweater
that wraps me
with comfort.
I thank you
for all the hands and feet
that brought brown bread to me
as if I were sitting in the beautiful
St. Louis restaurant
yet I’m simply at my table.
I praise you
for apples cooked down
in big kettles
and spiced with cinnamon
for me to spread
with fresh butter
on my little loaf.
I taste and see
that this is good.
You are good.
I’ll be posting more prayer-poems of praise on Sundays, so please follow my blog to see more of them.
