She was Poor - Blog Action Day

Dorcas, laying on the bed, still
rising at his call, his urging
Walking again, to live again,
her ministry to fulfill
She was poor, a widow;
but she was rich, in her living
using her hands, bits of cloth
her needle, her thread
to see those who needed her gifts
acting on her faith
meeting their needs
Though she was poor,
she gave richly
