Table Neighbours

We sit around at breakfast.
There's one thinks she's in charge.
At heart I wish this one of five
Were somewhere else, at large.

How would our dear Lord handle this?
He lived with people too.
Dear Lord I pray for guidance.
I don't know what to do.

My instincts and Thy way to cope
I think are opposite
I need Thy presence there with me
So I can handle it.

Grapes

Yesterday Tom brought me grapes
They're green and have no seeds.
Everything is laid on here
So I have no real needs.

But when I come back to my room
I can relax a bit.
The grapes are quite delicious
I have them while I sit.

They're juicy as a cup of tea
Delicious as a peach.
The room is small so when I sit
They are in easy reach.


Poem on page #68.

It turned out that mother got two lunches that day with no big meal. She will fill out the menu form more carefully next time.
