A Kitchen Prayer

Please bless this little kitchen, Lord, Please bless its ev'ry nook.
And bless me as I do my work, wash pots and pans and cook.
With cleanliness and with great care, and with love most of all,
May these offerings be seasoned, whenever You are called.
And while honoring prasadam, Your mercy 'fore us spread.
We'll not forget to thank Thee, By Whose hand we all are fed.
So please bless this little kitchen, and those who enter in.
May they find naught but joyful Krishna consciousness herein.
