2Mc 7:1, 20-31; Psalm 17:1, 5-6, 8 and 15; Luke 19: 11-28

upon waking
we are content
in your Presence
you hold us
in the shadow
of your wing
you hear
our cries
and answer
without deceit
you give
your love
and we in return
seek always
to share
what has been
given us
and remain faithful
and grateful
for love

Are you grateful for what you have?
