Spare Change
Blessed is she who surrenders last coin
Giving from lack rather than plenty
Blessed is he who takes inspiration
Single gift multiplied into many
Blessed are those who pass these along
Money dispersed round the earth
Blessed are those who give correct change
Insist you just pay what it's worth
So now blessed am I as I walk along
Her last coin nestled in hand
And when she looks at me with pleading eyes
I withhold, cause here begging is banned
Poem inspired by:
- the biblical story of the widow's offering (Luke 21)
- seeing a friend's generous spirit
- my cold calloused heart
