Good Luck Meal

A good luck meal on New Years Day, consists of many things, They say it makes a difference on what the New Year brings. I got to thinking ,wow, what luck, for the pig that gave that chop, that i stuffed with the dressing and put sour kraut on top. He wasn't very lucky as anyone could see, and when I served the black eyed peas, they were staring back at me. As if to say, "your lucky meal was bought with a great cost. It wasn't very lucky for the pig whose life was lost." To myself I wondered , How can I eat this meal? I was thinking about that piggy, I could even hear him squeel. I bowed my head and said dear God, I know this food is blessed, Help us to be so thankful for that pig who is at rest. So as I passed the food along I said in words so clear, Thank you pig for being food for my lucky year.
