Breaking of Bread

 

 

I see God in the soft wings of birds that fly

I see God in the water that floats peace's river           

 

God is our hearts beating with life

God gives light and day

 

moon and sun

joy and sorrow

love and tomorrow                                         

 

white doves flying with words of prayers

God gives grace with strength 

 

to handle our mantle

to light the lantern                                           

of hope for good days

 

to see faith in the future

baking the bread God gives us

so we can sing in the evening.












JoyAnne O'Donnell is the author of Spring & Summer’s Veil, Heaven's Medal,

and the poetry chapbook titled Sun and Rain.
