Thankful for the rain that nourishes the grass
that sinks
to the roots of trees full of fruit and
vines of berries,
a jam to make and
spread upon
bread from fields of grain.
The grain and hay that cows eat,
who produce
the milk.
Dairymen that create cream cheese to spread
over sourdough
slices spread with raspberry jam.
Grateful for the truckers who barrel down highways,
connecting farms,
factories, bottling plants, and
on to my grocery
store.
Thanks to those who unload, then shelve into
coolers and
center aisles and the deli’s bakery.
Bless the women behind the counter and glass cases
helpfully slicing,
weighing, bagging and smiling.
Appreciation for the cashiers who are kind,
efficient
and baggers
who know exactly how to fit it all in.
So that I might have a delightful breakfast on this
sunny day.
