Malnutrition

Malnutrition

Many people are suffering from this ailment
Some live in a fancy house and some live in a tent
Lack of nutritional food is the root of many fears
And can shorten one's life spanspan by many years

Vegetables, meat, bread and milk are healthy foods
A proper diet is essential to maintain level moods
To have plenty to eat is a blessing from above
To share a meal with others is an example of love

Another kind of malnutrition is one not often heard
I am talking about the bread in God's Holy Word
Daily heavenly manna is a food that we all need
On the meat of the Word of God all should daily feed

Many of God's children are suffering from this lack
Why won't we eat a full course instead of a Sunday snack
We must be weaned from milk before we get the meat
The Lord's table is spread with plenty for all to eat
