A Single Table

Wherever we are, around the globe
in plenty, in famine,
in war, in strife, in fall’s bounty, in peace
we come together to sit
a single table prepared
a loaf, a cup, enough to feed
Enough to feed the whole world
broken and given,
poured out and shared
For you for me, wherever
the sacrifice, the gift, remembered
in communion this day
to the ends of the earth
