we need to see with Christ’s
eyes
what really was happening
here
not about a couple of
coins
far more than that,
truly,
the widow came forward
what must the others have
noticed
her old clothing, the
curve of her back
bent over, stooped, from
her burdens,
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, herself
a sacrifice,
she gave but two coins
symbols only, of her
offering
all of what she had, herself
on the altar
this is what she offered
unto God
