Blessings

(with gratitude to Marcia Lee Faulk)

 

I

A Blessing for My Family

For my grandparents
of whom remembrance is a blessing

for my parents for whom gratitude
is endless

for my children, without whom
I would have so much less to bless

for my wife, Kathleen,
without whom, naught.


II

A Blessing for Friends

Blessed is breakfast
with friends --
mornings that begin
with honest chatter,
eggs and coffee
and talk that matters
as we affirm this space,
these connections,
the grace we make
of this time, this place.
