"Eucharist"

by Thomas Squiers
Copyright 2011. All rights reserved.
When I behold the beauty of creation, I am at Eucharist
When I am in the company of family and friends, I am at Eucharist
When I hear the laughter of children, I am at Eucharist
When I listen to the robins singing in the trees, I am at Eucharist
When I am in the still with candle lit, I am at Eucharist
When I gaze upon the moon in all of its splendor, I am at Eucharist
When I hold the hand of my beloved, I am at Eucharist
When I am surrounded by both sorrow and joy, I am at Eucharist
When I find myself laughing, I am at Eucharist
When I am assembled with those of my faith, I am at Eucharist
When I wake, I am at Eucharist
When I sleep, I am at Eucharist
Thanks be to God
