Rosemary's Blessing:  

We give thanks for our bread,

We give thanks for our butter,

And most of all,

We give thanks for each other.

For each new morning with its light,

For rest and shelter of the night,

For health and food,

For love and friends,

For everything Thy goodness sends.

Father in heaven

We thank thee.

 

Ralph Waldo Emerson

In connection with our First Blessing of The Men:

 

Life is a circle; it's beginning is its end,

Going on forever, beginning when time began.

 

Enclosed within the circle is every thought of love, 

Gliding on the winds of time, on the wings of a dove.

 

In the center of the circle is the hardened core of hate,

Bringing upon the wars of the world and may someday bring its fate.

 

But then life is a circle; it's beginning is it's end,

Going on forever beginning when time began.

 

 Life is a circle; it's beginning is it's end,

As it was in the beginning it shall be again.

 

Poem by our David Hoover

Rosemary's Blessing: Oh God,

Slow me down, Lord; I am going too Fast,

I can't see my Brother as he goes past;

I miss a lot of good things day by day,

I don't know Blessings when they come my way.    

Slow me down, Lord, so I can see 

More of the things that are good for me;  

A little less of me, a mile more of You 

Let Heavenly Atmosphere trickle thru, 

Let me help a Brother when the going's Rough, 

When Folks work together, things aren't so Tough. 

Slow me down, Lord, so that I can Talk 

With more of Your Angels…Slow me down to a Walk
