From out of her poverty, out of her gifts
the least found clothes, caring, warmth
Her hands, aged, widowed hands
sewing the clothe, the garments, the shirts
the cloaks, for those in need
being the hands, the fingers of Christ
sewing, knitting, showing her love
Her faith, her ministry in those hands
sharing out of her poverty, out of her bounty
