Breaking bread

look within solitary woes,
the heart of man;

quench a wanton thirst for hope;
fulfilling his hunger for acceptance;
sheltering him from tear filled storms;

breaking bread for peace,
sharing love of man.

Author notes

Prompt:
“And homeless near a thousand homes I stood,
And near a thousand tables pined and wanted food.”

...William Wordsworth...
