"wine that gladdens the heart of man,
oil to make his face shine,
and bread that sustains his heart."
why does wine gladden a man's heart?
why does oil make one's face shine?
how does bread sustain a person's heart?
i do not know all the whys or how but
i know that indeed
a little wine makes one merry,
a little oil brightens the face, and
a little bread will sustain one for the journey.
Father, i thank you for your simple and yet
bountiful provision of wine, oil and bread.
These three items are enough to keep a person
walking happily and healthily for some time.
