Bread of Angels

And they

they ate the bread of angels

that fell down from the sky

that appeared daily

to feed their hunger inside.

 

And they

they walked around in circles

for forty years

but their feet did not swell

nor did their clothes wear thin.

 

But I

I do not ask for the bread of angels

I do not ask that my feet never swell

or my clothes never wither and fade.

 

I ask for Your presence to always surround me

engulf me

protect me

lead me

guide me

love me.

 

I do not ask for the bread of angels.

 

I only ask that You keep my head above water

when the storms

when the storms

come crashing down.
