Calvary painted love's picture for me.

I am behind on poetry challenges.  This is one from last week.  Topic, "Cabinet".

 

THE LORD’S CABINET

 

The Holy book says to feast on the word

I don’t think there are muffins or lemon curd

But into the cabinet when I take a look

There is something to eat throughout the whole book.

 

He says for a salad there’s “lettuce” give thanks

And sincere milk of the word will fatten your shanks

Then needing your vitamins, where is the source?

The fruit of the spirit will follow the first course.

 

There’s peace, joy and love and even meekness

Then to the fruit salad, add loving kindness

Toss it all up and put faith on top

Eat it with temperance but never stop.

 

There’s the bread of life to go with your food

Meat for the strong, depends on your mood

Pour into your glass his wine of gladness

Then you’ll be merry, devoid of your sadness.

 

So when you go to a feast with the King

Look into his cabinet and find everything

That your hungry soul’s longing for

And each new day you’ll come back for more.
