I Will Savor This Day With You

I Will Savor This Day With You is an unedited prayer-poem I wrote in just five minutes. I hope this prayer-poem inspires you today.

Today’s post is based on the prompt for Five Minute Friday, written from 7:39 a.m. to 7:44 a.m., Friday, March 26, 2021. Today’s prompt is “Savor,” and here is my prayer/poem.

I Will Savor This Day With You

 

Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!

Psalm 34:8 NLT

 

Father God,

I will savor this day with you

the same way

I let the bergamot oil

from my Earl Grey tea

linger on my tongue

enjoying its exotic brightness

within a cup of warmth

each morning

like the warmth

I experience

when I settle in

only with you.

 

I choose to savor this day

like the ounce of dark chocolate

melting slow in my mouth

earthy

rich

fruity

complex

enriching me

with iron to build

new red blood cells

and stimulation

for my serotonin uptake.

In the same way

you help me grow

and lift me up

from within.

 

I will savor this very day

this moment

this hour

you created for me

like the banana

picked in the tropics

while green and hard

but perfectly ripe

today

for me to delight

in its starchy sweetness.

 

Right now

you ask me

to step in this moment with you

savoring it

turning it around and around

on my palate

like the wine at the Cana wedding

celebratory

joyful

and exuberant

because you came

not only to save us

but to celebrate with us

the small joys

encapsulated in every moment

you create.
