Fruit Salad

Fruits of nutritious blends toward healthy zest
Reveal succulent kiwis and apples’ best
Upheld by mangoes that conquer sweetness-fest
Infused with straw berries, bright among the rest
Tasty along raisins as fresh grapes attest. 

Served deliciously for diners to rejoice
Awesome fruit salad of mixed nuts is great choice
Loaded with cheese midst melon’s delicious poise
Appealing that satisfies my craving voice…
Dessert I thank God* for --- midst festive burp's noise.

*1 Chronicles 16:34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth forever.
