the widow came forward
what must the others have
noticed
her old clothing, the
curve of her back
bent over, stooped,
what must they have
expected
she gave but two coins
but it was herself on the
altar
the widow in the temple
offering to God
all that she had
all that she was
she gave but two coins
symbols only, of her
offering
all of what she had
herself on the altar
this is what she only
offered unto God
