I was hungry
I came to the fountain
Knowing I’m hungry
It won’t **** the craving
But I was hungry

Shaking, I whispered
“Just a drop and I’m grateful”
The liquid won’t end the pain in my stomach
But I was hungry

I remembered I missed my chance
The ground, once full and divine
Now empty and dry

I waited
Waited waited waited wait-
As if God was back by my side
A single drop fell straight on my eye

Ticking down my cheek
Almost asking for a peek
My prayer traveled into my lips
A second of complete bliss

“Maybe if I wait a bit more
Another drop will come and fall”
I waited and waited and waited
I’m still hungry
And I stayed hungry :,(
