These were going on in my mind when I heard the 'Thirty Second Sunday readings in Ordinary Time' (7th November 2021 1st Reading:1 Kings 17:10-16 and Gospel: Mark 12:38-44). When I returned home, I just penned what I could remember from Mass.
Two Widows
Two widows
With only handful to give
One pot of meal
Other one with
two copper coins
They had nothing more
no status in society
Yet were called upon
To give it all
Out of nothingness
Came the abundance
Not enough for self
But For them
God was enough
At the gentle
Request of prophet
Whisper in the heart
She offered all
Jar of meal
Little oil in a pitcher
Baked little cake
Lord God multiplied
That jar was not spent
Nor did the pitcher of oil fail
Christ had full treasury
But sought the last penny
Sifting through
Intentions of heart
Poor Widow donated
Out of her poverty
She put everything
Her whole living
For that’s all she had
To offer to Her God
Let me too,
be the giver of my all.
Like the Two Widows
responding God's call
my time, treasure & talent
You can have it all.
