Sae let the Lord be thankit

The Selkirk Grace

Some hae meat and canna eat,

And some wad eat that want it;

But we hae meat, and we can eat,

Sae let the Lord be thankit.

Attributed to Robert Burns, but likely earlier (see Wikipedia). This one often works for me.

"Many have food and can't eat;
Many can eat and don't have food;
We have food and we can eat;
Therefore, let us praise our Lord."

It is a prayer I only associate with my Grandparents' house since we never said this prayer at home.; September 7, 2008 at 2:36 PM
