Poetry

A plate full of good food is really nice and great
Especially if the food is the best you ever ate
But the same plate full of troubles piled high
Only makes you want to turn away with a sigh

If your plate was empty except for a crumb or two
How peaceful and happy that would make you
But instead the troubles on your plate are too big
If they were not so many you would dance a jig

I suppose if your troubles were only just food
You could eat them away and lighten your mood
But some troubles only the good Lord can take
And replace them with a piece of your favorite cake
