Ode To My Favorite Meal
As staple food* for my soul, irresistible
Bread of life --- indeed perfectly infallible
Chewable, appetizing midst wondrous sweetness
Delectable with much honey-glazed graciousness…
Ever tasty to my heart for grand existence
Flavorful milk does fortify bones’ persistence
Grabbing my taste buds to defy bitterness-sting
Having me savor pure truth toward health hoisting…
Imparting strength to my faith smiting doubt and fear
Juicy meats of minerals and vitamins’ gear
Keep me best against sin-afflicting viruses
Loading well-being along goodness that blesses…
Menu God divinely sets as spiritual meal
Nourishes me --- that’s the Bible of heaven seal
Offering nutritious diet I also share
Palatably festive with blissful love and care.
Ode in ABC with couplet form
*Job 23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
