        THE NEED TO BE FED
I know what it feels like to need a bite to eat,
Be ready for a meal of vegetables and meat,
But deep inside I have a greater need to be fed,
Not by fancy foods or even water and bread.

But to be fed by the Master, a great spiritual meal
Of prayer and of fasting so that my soul will heal,
Fed by reading the scriptures every single day
And by thinking always of others along life’s way.

Maybe by preparing a lesson I will be well filled
With a spiritual feast just as God has for us willed,
Not a cursory glance of the lesson for a snack,
If prepared well spiritual benefits we will not lack.

Going to our meetings where a feast we can gain,
Filled with the spirit then pray ‘til we meet again,
This always helps me to keep my light bright,
But if for a reason I miss, dim goes my light.

But if I want a banquet a feast beyond compare,
I go to the temple to be truly spiritually fed there,
Then filled to overflowing I pray my light will shine
Bright and far and so succor those who do pine.

Be fed by the temple until my cup just overflows
That I may never be spiritually hungry and it grows
For God and those around and so love everyone,
So I need to be spiritually fed until my work is done.
