A PIECE OF BREAD

 

 

A piece for you

and a piece for me …

and you and you and you….

Pausing us all for a moment

Maybe catching each other’s eye or face.

We stop, we pause, we say a word.

We might say even hear,  “Thanks!”

We begin to listen.

We think.

We say, "Thank you."

A piece of bread can do a  lot  of peace making.

At least for a moment

Then we might rise - a bit.

A PIECE OF BREAD

 

A piece for you

and a piece for me …

and you and you and you….

Pausing us all for a moment.

Maybe catching each other’s eye or face

when doing this and the other wonders.

We stop, we pause, we say a word.

“Thanks!”

It’s like Eucharist – a bit – that is if I bite.

A piece of bread can do a  lot  of peace making –

if but for a moment

and then we too rise.
