A Poem To Sit With
19th Sunday of Ordinary Time B
August 9, 2015


They murmured about Jesus because he said,   
“I am the bread that came down from heaven.” (Gospel)          
Jesus Speaks

I make
everything
you see

I make
everything
you hear

I make
everything
you touch
and taste
and smell

to surprise you
