Not saying grace together

Sitting at the same table
not saying grace together
bringing your own bounty
as if it comes from you

Eating your own treasure
the fruits of labor
as if it comes from you
not seeking to feed your neighbor

Not saying grace together
one family, fractured
sitting together
yet denying our union

All of us sheep
all children of God
bound by the blood of the lamb
the living Savior, Christ
