Dear Lord, as round the table we
Are gathered by Your grace.
We pause to thank You for this food
And every smiling face.

How wonderful that we can share
These moments once again
With those we love but seldom see-
How long the time has been!

We thank You for Thanksgiving Day.
This special time of year
When we can meet with pleasure all
The ones we hold so dear.

Bless those of us now far away.
Please let their spirits be
Here with us round this table, Lord-
One happy famly.

And as we take our places here
And fill our plates with food.
Lord, may our hearts and minds be filled
With special gratitude.
Amen.

- Phyllis C. Michael
