g-d of friends
and roommates
coworkers
and co-religionists
and g-d, still
of all of us whose differences
still lead us to each other
allow us to spend this family day
with the ones who make our hearts sing
to remind us that we are not
what we lack
motherless
fatherless
stranger
alone
and to make a life worth living
that is both freely and deliciously chosen
so we may be sustained by the family of our own choosing today and all of our days.
