Cease Not

When Paul said to the Ephesians
That he ceased not to give thanks for them,
I once thought that he never stopped,
At any hour of the day or night.

With such absurdities, I used to pummel myself:
Not as good as Paul!

But I get food for the boys without ceasing.
Every day, several times,
They are fed.
But I do not live entirely in the kitchen.

I expect this is what Paul meant.
He prayed as they came to mind, and they came to mind
Every day, without cease.
