Food… We need it We want it We crave it Food for our bodies Food for our souls Food for thought Though our bodies be fed Still we starve our souls With empty thoughts We become malnourished Snacking on the superficial Too full for truth Our bellies distended Eyes blankly stare As our time passes away We look for supplements Take solace in Christ Fight over the names of God Yet when we seek manna Hunger is no more Our souls are fed The world has purpose Our lives have meaning Our minds are full LGR©2/20/15 |

Yes indeed, my friend, we all have to find their own form of manna. I have found mine and I feel you have pretty much found yours. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

I'm glad you said "own form of manna". This was not meant to be a religious poem. Actually the girls at work gave me the topic "Food" to write about and this is what I came up with.  |

"Yet when we seek manna Hunger is no more Our souls are fed" I like this..not so many people know how to look for manna to feed their souls. I feel you have found yours,and are at peace with yourself. |

Well...You know the commercial where the person smacks themselves in the head when they realize they could have had a V8? That's me with Manna sometimes. LOL I am at peace with myself being a very flawed human being. I appreciate your comment very much. Thank you! ~L |

Our deserts need more than food and water, if that be manna, so be it. Manna is family, a gentle touch from a stranger, and a kiss from one who once thought of us as nothing. |
