The pastor’s message, his sermon
a real conversation, about real life
his eye surgery the thread of the sermon,
the necklace,
beads along the way, pearls of wisdom
dangling, connected, bits of truth
joy, humor, along life’s journey
some scripture, apostle’s proofs,
leavening the bread, baked to fresh
a bit of himself, of Paul,
of the gospel, a tapestry, a beautiful necklace
a bit of bread, daily bread,
reminding us, in remembrance,
the connection we share, one to another,
and with God
