Bread in the hands of the pastor

The disciples not seeing deeper
the inner message, revealed
that they were to be given to the people
that their hunger would be fed
Bread in the hands of the pastor
the lamb, the shepherd, in life
raising the loves before them
to feed the multitude in need
They were the ones transformed
though the bread may have been multiplied
given as feed for their spirits
that the whole world would be fed
