The tree’s branches
Lays a nest filled with young birds
They’re waiting for their mom’s return
With the food for their growth

From God Needed Nourishment

From God Needed Nourishment

From God needed enough nourishment;
Daily by Him  much surgery underwent;
Quite a Guy;
On did  rely;
From committing sin, He would prevent.

Mother

nothing compares to the beauty
of a Mother.

no painting captures her selfless
heart,not even words can describe
her infinite love.
she is delicate strength
that needs the nourishment
of praise.

LOVE AND HATE NOURISHMENT



   Love is the best fruit,
   the best nutrient.!

    Hate is rotten fruit,
      spoiled food...

   He who chooses to hate
  is not making the right choice

     sits at the wrong table...!

It thirsts for water
It cries out for nourishment
My garden is me, you’re the water

So never leave me

Identity

In the urgency of fear,
I transform,
in adversity, I realize who I am,
Normally, I don't even recognise myself...
So poetry is for me
nourishment and encouragement...
 i discover it because so
is the living... !

And the love is what makes the flower bloom abundantly
