Crust of Bread
A story of sacrificeA story of struggle
A story of great love
A little boy of courage
Day in and day out
Searching for scraps
Not knowing when or how
To get the next meal
In a war torn village
Somewhere in Europe
A small group of children
Cries out in hunger
In faith they pray
For just a crust of bread
Orphans through fate
Left alone to survive
Their leader, a brave boy of ten
Wanders through the streets
The children praying
For a miracle
Just a crust of bread
But God being God
Who loves his children
Has mercy on them
And helps the boy find
Much more than that
A whole salami, four eggs to boot
And not just a crust
But a whole loaf of bread
