Bread, Hope and Purpose

Source: wiredcom
The story of humanity
Seems to have been 
A beautiful journey
Of bread, hope, and purpose. 

Bread for the body,
Hope for our spirit,
And quest for purpose 
For our deepest self … our soul!

May the Lord grant us our daily bread,
Fruit of our work,
To feed and sustain 
Our flesh and body! 

May the Lord grant
Hope to our spirit
To illuminate the darkness 
And dissipate despair in our heart!  

May the Lord grant us 
A good sense of purpose 
To keep our whole being in unity and unshakable joy
To taste and savor the beauty of life!
