Praise for Food (a poem)

[rylevao]

Praise for Food



Praise be to God for honey sweet,

Which spread upon toast I gratefully eat.



Maybe with butter to go with it too,

And when I do eat it I give thanks to you.



* * *



Praise be to God for bread so soft,

Of which I do consume so ‘oft,



Especially when at home it’s made,

For you I’ll do as I am bade.



* * *



Praise be to God for fruit divine,

Brought forth from the trees or off the vine,



Eaten whole or squeezed into a cup,

To God I give thanks before I sup.



* * *



Praise be to God for the flock and the herd,

Of which meat is gotten by the truth of Thy word.



And by all these things we live all our days

And for them we give you our undying praise.



What can I say? I was hungry! (I can be a real Christian geek sometimes...)

Thanks! Glad someone appreciates it!

Very beautiful Ryle! You actually inspired me to write a poem of my own. I'll send it to you through a PM.

That's sweet. It would make a good grace, and has just the right mix of formality and humor. Haha, nothing wrong with being a Christian geek!
