Eight-line Poems

Preparation

Preparation

I find myself less able to crave these days.
There was a time when a boon was craved,
when craving was a more common thing,
perhaps even an addiction demanding
(‘tis a few years since smoking gave up on me).
Yes, I do remember craving but maybe it’s true
that the Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want,
and right now I get better as I’m prepared.
