empty
baskets
waiting
we know
this
will stay with us
much longer
than
what is given
to us this day
our daily bread
we will remember
that is all we have
that is all we need

Sighing.Some amazing ways you folks have woven the bread baskets on this one.
i like your focus on the empty basket
It's just so touching…striking imagery..empty basket is just the perfect metaphor..and this agonizing emptiness is accentuated by the dearth of "our daily bread"Terrific piece of write…Heart-wrenchingLove and Regards~ Sayandeep
We just finished reading To Kill a Mockingbird set in the depression. Unfortunately we have students today in dire need of the basics. We do what the families will allow us to do to help.This picture speaks volumes.
The face of children with the expressions of adults …
Made the hair on my neck stand up.
A deep affirmation of the power of faith.
I too like how you turned the photo around with your words.Well done!
You turned the photo around, Nancy. Nice one.
knowing not where our meal will come, yet trusting one will be there when we need it.
