Poem for 8th Sunday after Pentecost Matthew 14:13-21

I was filled with hunger

longing for something to fill

the ache in my stomach

and longing hear every word

from the mouth of my Savior

I longed to be filled

and healed

to know the truth

and feel it in my should

and in my stomach

Take this bread and eat

as the loaves were passed

This is my body

as the people gathered

and shared Christ’s love through a loaf of bread

This is my body

Shared

Enough for the whole world

and the more shared

the more abundant was the love

and life

help me Lord to turn to my neighbor

Give

and say

The Body of Christ

Given for You
