Bread

Bread - the food of the world

Every nation,

Every tribe has a bread

Bread

Swedish loaves dark with rye

American white loaves of sourdough,

Tortillas in Mexico made of corn.

Bread - the staple of every clime

Every country;

Every village has a bread.

Bread

French baquette, English scone,

Middle east pita and Jewish challah,

India's chapati and Irish Soda.

Bread - A food of life,

Ever eaten

Where people find comfort

Bread

At humble kitchen tables, in richest homes,

Served in the soup kitchens, carried in the streets

Jesus served his friends bread and spoke of life.
