Look What Happened When I Shared My Lunch Poem by Royston Nella

Look What Happened When I Shared My Lunch



Off with my basket of loaves and fishes I sped,
as I rushed up the hill to hear what Jesus said.
Sitting down I listened well to those words of His
for I had never heard any man speak like this.

Time went by so rapidly but I did not care,
I could have stayed forever in His presence there.
As evening came all went quiet and all stood still,
and many thousands were gathered there on the hill.

Then to my surprise his disciple came to me,
for into my lunch basket he wanted to see.
So I showed him the five loaves and two fishes there,
and He asked if I'd be willing my lunch to share.

What food I had I took to Jesus willingly,
and then as He gave thanks there so surprisingly,
a miracle happened and my eyes opened wide,
as the five loaves and two fishes were multiplied.

The multitudes were told to sit down on the ground
and my small loaves and fishes were then passed around.
When all were fed twelve baskets were taken away,
and five thousand people had eaten well that day.

I knew that He was the Prophet who was to come
and went on my way rejoicing all the way home.
I'll never forget the things Jesus did that day
even though the multitudes have gone upon their way.
