DISHWASHER

The dishes go in, come out,

are put away in the cabinet,

come off the shelf again, used to

serve us food over and over again.

Glasses and cups  too - same story -

serving us day after day, year after

year: table, sink, dishwasher and

then out again over and over again.

Each of us - enjoying meal after meal - 
at the family table - saying grace for 
our food - then washing dishes - well aware

that life is all about serving one another.
