He Fills My Cup

Mornings begin with my savior 
His richness every day fills my cup 
On loan is his bounty and flavor 
He helps this wracked body stand up. 
The warmth of his substance is welcome 
His essence spells relief to my eyes 
Full with his sweetness I’m spared boredom 
Without him this wracked body cries. 
One connection with him's not sufficient 
I thirst for the nectar of his soul 
Without his strength I'm deficient 
With his nourishment this body can stroll. 
When I’m wandering without much direction 
And I’m listless and moving too slow 
I just look to him for more gumption- 
He's another good cup of hot Joe

I sometimes feel the same way when I need another cup of coffee. Let me see, better go get it now. Great Write, great flow and the reader just doesn't know even at the end just like in "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. Very good.

Nice twist in this poem . I thought you were referring to God as your savior but in the end it turn out to be a beverage... (LOL)
