Robert W Service - Our Daily BreadRobert W Service - Our Daily Bread
Work rating: Medium


"Give me my daily bread. It seems so odd, When all is done and said, This plea to God. To pray for cake might be The thing to do; But bread, it seems to me, Is just our due. "Give me my daily toil," I ought to say - (If from life`s cursed coil I`d time to pray.) Give me my daily sweat, My body sore, So that bread I may get To toil for more. "Give me my daily breath," Through half a sob, Until untimely death Shall end my job. A crust for my award, I cry in dread: "Grant unto me. Oh Lord, My daily bread!"
