With Grace I’ve Been Fed

I’ve been hungry. 

Not just a mere inconvenience

Hunger as a presence

A dinner companion as you salivate over a slice of bread

So it is not with grace that I bless this food

But in knowing it’s grace

That I have been fed.

This was for a dVerse prompt: Pen us a poem of precisely 44 words (not counting the title), including some form of the word hunger.

Thankfully I have not been hungry much but I have known hunger yet nothing is worse than not being able to feed your kids. So it is with grace that when going through hard times that I know that I am not hungry.
