The Bread ©
My friend asked me again to share his poem with you. :)
*
I pulled up my sleeves from my wrists
I straightened my back for the strength
I stretched my arms to ready,
For the job that was given to me
I cupped some flour over a bowl
I cracked some eggs along with salt
I poured the yeast and so the milk
The fourth time I have to do this today
My kneading hand is getting weak
From fingers,shoulders, elbow to wrist
The smell just as always, bitter
So is the taste of flour in the air
Knead it long enough it’ll be tough
Knead it lightly it will simply crumble
Though my motivation’s at its lowest,
Excellence is needed for a perfect dough
Thirty minutes I let it rest,
Ten more to let it cook,
Thirty more to let it cool,
Before I could actually cut it
Then I see it wasted on the shelves
Thrown away in the leftover’s bin
Still I should bake more in the morning,
Served again on the table side
Then I remembered the Bread of Life,
The grace from heaven for us to eat
Yet we ignore Him every single day,
We take Him for granted until now
In excellence He bakes Himself everyday
He is presented as fresh, good and free
Without fail He keeps on going
Without flaw the best we ever had
So what is a wasted bread?
For whom am I doing this for anyways?
I am doing this to be like Him
Never ending, never failing, excellent.
