Reading while I eat,
The Lord brings
A sweet message to me.

Open up the Bible,
As I sit at the table
Of silence.

I drown my brain
In nothing but
His word of love
And faith.

As I read what is in ink,
I start to tear up
Right there in front
Of my daily meal,

That the father created
And prepared to
Nourish our hungry
Bodies.

Reading as I eat
Learning what the
Father God has to say
And preach
Over ones life today.

As I come across
A scripture of confusion,

I get down on my knees
And pray to the Holy
Spirit of love every time
I can't understand
Or even see

What the father Jesus
Is really saying to me.

Reading while I eat
I'll always eat the
Words of hope
Right off of my
Plate of peace.

Can't stop this feeling of pain,
It always seems to blow up
In my mind everyday.

Can't stop what's going on
In my brain, whirlwind
Of spinning pain,
Wanting to shut others
Out and just be with
My maker in silent prayer.

Because this pain that I have,
Won't ever go
Can't fully understand
Why others want to haunt
Me down,

Just because I have something
Unique and special, that
Covers my heart and life
With the Holy spirit tonight.

Don't want to feel like this
Ever again, it's almost like
Commenting a terrible sin.

Just want things to get better
And not worse, how is this
Even possible,

When I always seem to burst
Into tears when others can't
Seem to hear what is being
Placed right there in front
Of their confused face.

We just all need to fill our
Life's with the Holy spirit of life
And grace.

Just stop thinking and living
In the past, which we decided
When to keeping it cast,
It away across the seas
Surrender it over to God.

I get down
In a prayer of dreams,
Hoping that others can see
And feel my hurt and pain,
Like I've been doing for them
Every single day.

In this name I'll forever
Pray, amen.
