Jesus said to Peter and John, "go and get the passover meal ready". Luke22:8 The Baker This day in Jerusalem as I was baking the unleavened bread for the passover meals, two men approached the stall. While waiting on another customer, I overheard their conversation. They spoke of this man called Jesus, and the miracles He performed. The next day I saw the crowds, and joined to see the cause. I stood next to this man John, that I sold bread to yesterday. He said, "they are to crucify my Lord". As I watched Him pass, carrying the cross, my heart was touched, I knew not why. He paused and looked into my eyes, spoke these words to me, "Your hands have baked the very bread that became my flesh to save the world". I knew He spoke the truth, astounding as it was. His eyes were filled with sorrow, yet shone of love and truth. I knew that I had found my Lord on this sorrowful of days. So through it all I lingered, witnessed all His pain. Wept my tears of penance, vowed my life to Him. On sunday morn I heard the shouts. The tomb is empty. He is risen! My heart was filled with joy! My promise made that very day. The only bread I'd make, would be to feed the hungry souls with the Bread of Life each day, and tell them how He gave His life, that we might learn to live and love, and follow in His Way. 02 |

Ellie, Thank you for taking the challenge. This poem is one of a kind. In your own unique and wonderful style- you have crafted a first person story poem which is touching-because it touches the heart-a very interesting connection you make with the baker and the Bread of Life. I know I can always count on you to come through--A challenge WELL MET! Thank you Friend, David "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |
