forever

By Patty Perkins

John 6:58 “This is the bread that came down from heaven…he who feeds on this bread will live forever.” (NIV)*

if someone offered forever,

extended bread

and a brimming cup–

would i accept the offer

and with that someone sup?

………………..

if someone offered healing,

to a tattered

broken down soul–

would i believe his word

partake and be made whole?

………………..

if someone offers heaven,

arms bearing

bread and wine–

would i taste the sweetness

of a forever by and by?
