Love Is My Daily Bread



Love is my daily bread, a nourishing core,
Strengthens my spirit, always.
Not a fleeting fancy, a passionate craze,
But a steady companion, through life's winding maze.

Kindness the crust, a warmth I can share,
Compassion is the filling, a burden to bear.
Forgiveness the butter, smoothing all strife,
Laughter the sprinkle, a joyful life.

With each loving bite, my spirit takes flight,
Love's nourishment fuels me, morning, noon, and night.
A simple essential, a need to be fed,
Love is my daily bread, the best kind of bread.
