Daily bread sent as
fulfilling words,
Crumbs of comfort suitably
sustain.
Desire and support is kindly
effected,
Benefits enhance the highs
and lows.
Nourishment extends beyond
the day,
Encouraging tomorrow’s inspiration.
Spiritual sustenance
revives attitudes,
Seeing beyond future's
gathering doubts.
Encouraging thoughts are
gladly received,
Appreciation enjoyed in
one’s satisfaction.

So true, Eileen, that nourishment is needed beyond the day. Spiritual sustenance is very important, and all who seek WILL find.
ReplyDelete. . . man does not live by bread alone . . .
ReplyDeleteI like this poem about feeding the internal hunger, "spiritual sustenance" that "revives attitudes". Great perspective, Eileen.
ReplyDeleteseeing beyond the doubts...
ReplyDeletei have been on a bit of a journey spiritually the last couple days.
my computer crashing probably helped
but it made me realize things...and hear a few things
i needed to hear...i have a good friend i need to appreciate
a bit more...i am having dinner with him tonight to do just that.
Such a bouquet of positive words start each couplet, each line and build to a sense in me that what comes to your narrator daily may arrive as a crumb, but multiplies many times its weigh into enough to feast the spirit! Fine feeling.
ReplyDeleteA nice piece that I enjoyed reading.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
human beings need to be nourished in several ways...bread is a vehicle that can lead to the others...
ReplyDeleteSomedays one forgets gratitude for our daily bread.
ReplyDeleteYou address, with reverence and appreciation, so many human needs in this brief piece.
ReplyDeleteThere is a great sense of self containment and peace in these words..very uplifting
ReplyDeleteSpiritual nourishment is something one should never take for granted. I love your piece!
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen, I saw you over at my friend, Talon's and wanted to pop in.
ReplyDeleteYes sometimes we can feel "future's gathering doubts" and are reminded to be grateful for this current moment and all we have. Nicely put here, thank you.
Positive as well as practical thoughts.."Spiritual sustenance revives attitudes,"..nice line :-)
ReplyDeletePlainly when one is surrounded with positive thoughts the head begins to feel lighter. Refreshing responses will result most readily! Wonderful write Eileen!
