"The Blessing"

Why say the blessing; it's just red beans rice with pulled pork cooked twice
Everything looks good and it all goes down nice
When I first got married; I prayed for God's protection

Always one spoon full away from salmonella infection

But not a pious man, and not wanting to seem so

I stopped praying before meals; I just let it go

Ignorant, I am, I know

For it was never about safety, or cleaning the outside

My cup wasn't empty, but dare I look inside

It was about being thankful and remebering who made this

Sharing at the table in the blessing that he gave us
