 Here’s a sacred poem celebrating Jesus as the Bread of Life, richly woven with Scripture:

### **"The Bread That Breathes"**  

*"I am the Bread of Life." —John 6:35*  

**Verse 1:**  

*Not manna fading with the morn (Ex. 16:20),*  

*But Living Loaf—eternal, torn.*  

*You broke the husk of death’s dark grain,*  

*And rose as wheat from burial’s plain (John 12:24).*  

**Verse 2:**  

*No hunger left unmet, unheld—*  

*Your flesh true feast, my famine quelled (John 6:51).*  

*The crumbs of Eden’s curse now cease,*  

*For You knead mercy into peace (Gen. 3:19; Mic. 5:5).*  

**Verse 3:**  

*Come, starving hearts! The Table’s spread.*  

*The Baker bled to be our Bread (Matt. 26:26).*  

*Oh, taste and see—His wounds impart*  

*The golden crust of God’s own heart (Ps. 34:8).*  

**Communion Refrain:**  

*"Not by bread alone we live,*  

*But by each Word You give (Deut. 8:3).*  

*So let us feast, and never part,*  

*O Bread of Heaven—Love’s Own Heart."*

This poem intertwines the Exodus manna, Christ’s miracles, and Eucharistic promise into a single cry of devotion. May it nourish your spirit as you meditate on Him who satisfies eternally. 🍞✝️
