Bread for My Enemies, the Work of a Servant.
Free Verse

Some days I get tired of carrying my cross, but nevertheless, selah.
I give to those who would withhold from me.
I pour into those whose rivers turn dry for me.
I break bread with those who wouldn’t leave a crumb on the table for me.
I pray for those who prey on me.
I heed the call of those who turn a deaf ear to my cries.
I esteem those in public who tear me down in private.
I create community for those who would cast me out.
I show love to those whose hearts burn with hatred toward me.
I come through with valor for those who, with ease, fall through for me.
I light a torch for those who wouldn’t strike a match for me.
I ride for those who wouldn’t put five on the tank for me.
Lunatic, insane - some might say, but I never grow weary in well doing.
I embody my Father, cross me and meet God, big D energy, but never on demon time.
