beyond measure, beyond comparing
even the crumbs are enough
ample, sufficient to fill out hunger,
our longings, our needs
Here to feed the children, but the scraps
cast off and dropped for the dogs
able to nourish, to feed all the world
so was his gift, his lesson, his example
from him all are fed, the chosen ones
and all, to the ends of the earth

Very nice! I am reminded of the Anglican Prayer of Humble Access:
"I am not worthy so much as to gather the crumbs under thy table, but Tho art the same Lord whose property is always to have mercy..."
