The Widow’s Gift

Her simple coins
change for some; all she had
offered to God in faith in trust
relying on God
for he will provide
All of our needs
more than our daily bread
our cups overflowing
grace upon grace
pouring on us
This faith in her act
her giving of all
a reverent offering
fragrant to God
