Beside the Master's Chair

. for public domain

Table scraps we shared
beside the Master's Chair;
more than we had dared
to hope for in our dark and foul air,

we partook as sumptuous meat,
discarded from a Heavenly Feast,
yet food enough, a Spiritual Treat,
to delight us among the least.

We raised our palms in praise,
hands unused to prayer, and tough,
rang hallelujah all our days.
The little we had - more than enough.
