Manna from Above by Mary Bone

Arnie Chou

Manna from Above

When we feed the holy,

It’s manna from heaven.

The word is taken into our hearts

during sermons,

from God’s word.

Prayers are answered and we give

God the glory.

Let Us Praise by Daniel Skach-Mills

 

Scott Webb

Let Us Praise

the quiet task

that does not shout

its name to the world.

Dried plates, 

dishing up 

no status.

Raked leaves, 

not falling, as we do, 

for piling up 

prestige.

Walls that stand, 

not by themselves,

but because of where

they’ve joined.

Tea bowls,

silently waiting,

allowing what 

enters them

to expand.
