Raymond A. Foss Poems

It isn’t much by Raymond A. Foss

Walking down the aisle
a fill-in usher this morning
this Sunday in church
a visitor, asking for prayers
a widow, living out the scripture
offering more than the rest
all she had, as she said these words,
“It isn’t much; but it is all I have”
These words, an apology to me
a testimony, a witness to her faith.
I thanked her for her gifts
loose change, all she could give
A lesson for me alone,
living out the words of scripture
a widow’s gift indeed
