Thank You Lord (poetry)

4

6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, 

and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, 

and remember his misery no more. 

Proverbs 31.

8

That's what the bible says.

I wrote the poem below after reading my bible and being lead by the Spirit to bend down and look in the back of the refrigerator. 

I could hardly believe my eyes,

there were four pints of beer in the fridge 

after drinking six: 

and the seventh

was better than the first.

So I wrote the poem below

and praised God for His wisdom.

Thank You Lord 

(for the four forgotten pints)

Imagine finding

      four forgotten pints

             in the back of the fridge

                on a day that hasn't ended

   after drinking six.

       I praise your wisdom

        allowing me to forget

           the four forgotten pints

               you lead me to remember

          today.
