How wrong they were

the timid disciples
looking at the dust
the multitude before them
wanting to be fed
hungry for the word
for the truth in Christ
needing to be fed
for this life and the next
how wrong they were
that they had nothing to give them
bound in the dust
in the perspective of the world
they were the fish,
the barley loaves
blessed and broken
given to the world
