Widow's Mite
Dressed in fine apparel,
Lauded by their friends,
Rich men brought their fortunes,
To be esteemed in the sight of men.
The widow entered quietly
Unnoticed by the throng.
In her hand were two small coins,
She had treasured long.
Into the treasury went the coins,
All her earthly wealth.
The Savior watching all that day
Asked this question of His friends,
"Of all who cast their coins today
Who has given more?
Some have cast in many coins . . .
Who did they do it for?"
The widow in her poverty,
In the midst of want . . .
Had cast in but two small coins,
She had no wealth to flaunt.
The Savior spoke then quietly,
"Look not on the outer part,
It is not what the world see's . . .
It is what's written in the heart."
