Poetry
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

FaithWriters offers Christian reading material for Christian readers. We offer Christian articles, Christian fiction, Christian non-fiction, Christian Bible studies, Christian poems, Christian articles for sale, free use Christian articles, Christian living articles, New Covenant Christian Bible Studies, Christian magazine articles and new Christian articles. We write for Jesus about God, the Bible, salvation, prayer and the word of God.
We regularly sit as a family for meals and we rotate who says grace, always out loud and sometimes in song. I wrote the poem about how good it felt that even without anyone watching (I was doing my bible study in the living room), each one of them stopped to thank God for the day and for the meal before eating their breakfast.
