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
