a simple loaf, an earthen cup
uncovered on the table, an offering
a living candle, before the cross
purple cloth, covering His table
Simple elements, shared in faith,
in remembrance of Him,
invoked by her loving words
His choice to sacrifice,
to give himself, His life,
His body, His blood
for each of us,
as we come to His table
