               What About that Kid with the Loaves and Fishes?

           There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves, and two
           small fishes; but what are these among so many?

-St. John 6:9

About that kid with the loaves and fishes –
Who was he? And what was he doing there?
Maybe he was selling snacks to the crowd
Or he was on his way to the fields with his lunch

But his plan for the day was interrupted
And he was chosen for a moment in time
When bread and fish and grass and rocks and sky
For us were made much more than they appeared

When his basket was made an altar, and he -
Like most of us, was more than he seemed to be
