truth is a cake

From a distance I did glance

and spy a tasty sight.

sugar-frosted, sweet, and whole,

I knew it would delight...

The party moved through games and gifts and

laughter swept us all,

But in the corner was the cake...

It's beauty did enthrall.

For, having eaten cake before I knew the promise held

The beauty of its glistening coat

fulfilled within my mouth.

And truth is like a cake you see...

It's sweetness satisfies.

We view it cross the room and know,

to eat it crowns our lives.

The party games are like the ways

we act with one another,

But nothing satisfies, it seems,

like the truth cake in the corner.

Jeremiah 15:16 

Your words were found, and I ate them,
And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;
For I am called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts.

blessings,
