Of thanks for daily food!
To offer God the first fruits
Is old as gratitude.

Before they kept the feast
Put firstfruits in a basket
And took it to the priest.

Of where creation starts
With science in our pockets
Lose wonder from our hearts?

While ourselves are fed
Make each of us more ready
To share our daily bread.
