Compassion

Such simple acts first to heal the crowds

Then to take what is little, what is small

And multiply it. Not divide, not complain, 

Not send them away I've done enough

Seating them all and praying together

Never just enough, more and more always

Giving without conditions, without strings,

Without a requirement of belief or baptism

Just freely given food to everyone, healed

And not healed, complainers and doers,

Believers and unbelievers all receive, all are blessed

God's abundance displayed in the simple act

Of feeding bread and fish freely given with

Leftovers to be collected because we all

Need to learn of limitlessness and the pure

Abundance of compassion we might also give
