A GOSPEL TREASURY
Poems Based on Lectionary Gospels
Of the people who came to the temple,
there were many whose vesture was grand.
And they came to the Court of the Women
all proudly, with offering in hand.
As they dropped in their gold with a flourish,
that attention of all they would claim.
With their fringes and tassels aswinging,
they might bow to acknowledge their fame.
And then, in a moment of quiet,
in a robe that was ragged and worn,
came a widow, who slipped through the temple
among people who viewed her with scorn.
there were many whose vesture was grand.
And they came to the Court of the Women
all proudly, with offering in hand.
As they dropped in their gold with a flourish,
that attention of all they would claim.
With their fringes and tassels aswinging,
they might bow to acknowledge their fame.
And then, in a moment of quiet,
in a robe that was ragged and worn,
came a widow, who slipped through the temple
among people who viewed her with scorn.
