Not By Bread Alone (Religious Epulaeryu)

O, to sweat, one must commit 
For Earth’s scented wheat-- 
Taste good, even, without meat 
Yet live, not by it 
Alone, but must eat
God’s fruits, sweet--                    
 Eat!

Amen, Ernesto, Amen. I hope I will be able to partake this Sunday. I still have this crud but not as bad. God Bless, Cile
