A Matter of Faith


They tell of a long-ago picnic,
crowds of people, far from towns,
hungry, needing.
They speak of a blessing
of small rolls and a few fish,
of abundance flowing
when food had seemed scarce.
They report lessons of trust,
of understanding the power of faith.
They pondered how expectations
of bounty on the part of one,
how gratitude for small gifts
could cause blessings to flow
when faith spread the table
for all who would partake.
