crumbs

"But she answered him, 'Sir, even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.'" Mark 7:28

we will meet those

the rest of the world

steps out of the way

to avoid at all cost,

we will hear 

the whispers of loneliness

of the people huddling

in their homes and hearts,

we will be challenged

to release those beliefs,

prejudices, and faiths

we clutch so tight in our fists,

if we but follow

the trail of grace crumbs

God has left in the world

just as you did.
