Unison Prayer
Dear God,
We Pilgrims are here in
Abernethy, eating again.
We never get tired of it.
Our cooks and bakers may.
Our waitresses and waiters
may.
They return every day and
we are thankful.
May we find new ways of
showing appreciation for
homes, friends, families,
food.
But most of all, for your
watchful care over us.
AMEN
