Lord of love
Grand giver of grace
We give thanks above
For this day we nary chase
This morning, this moment
This evening, the eventual
Life’s relay we relent
We reunite for this ritual
As we eat, we bid this bird
To nourish broken bodies
Mend us with merry words
And good food, Grannies tater totties
Thank you for cousins and kin
For constant moving moms and dads
Who had long drives in
Though we be wanton and sad
For those who could not make it
We thank all those who could
We remember those homeward taken
If they could be here they would
Lord, we pass along this prayer
To say thanks again
For food feast, family, and friends so rare
Lord, thank you, amen
