Love is a Basket
with 5 loaves and 2 fishes
It’s never enough until
you start giving it away.
If you share your bread in fear, Mistrustfully, undaringly, in a trice your bread will fail.
Try sharing it without looking ahead,
not thinking of the cost ,unstintingly,
like a son of the Lord
of all the harvests in the world.
