With pride I lay this reef upon your altar
A reef of glorious colors and lovely scents
A reminder of my gratitude
I blessed gods of land and growth
And of verdant life
With pride I sing my songs of praise
Humble though my voice be
That you may hear my eternal thankfulness
For all the joys you bring
And all the sadness too
With pride I grow and am made better
By all your divine gifts
Gifts of health and prosperity
Simple though it may seem to some
For I prosper in spirit under your tutelage
With pride I remember your stories
Myths to help us see you
That speak of us as much as you
That we may learn of our folly
And from our own mistakes
With pride I bid you welcome
Here into my home
All you gods above
All you gods below
All you gods who walk upon the sacred earth
