Poems

The Widow's Mite

From the September 1964 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I gave my mite
content to know that all
I had was wanted.
The little light,
the simple word, though trivial
to many, counted.

When I have more
I will give more, and still
the total of it
as before—
my life a mite that tries to tell
the world I love it.
