\nWith apostles sat
\nJesus in the synagogue
\nTwo women walk in<\/p>\n
\nWith apostles sat
\nJesus in the synagogue
\nTwo women walk in<\/p>\n
One gives a little:
\nA lot of money given
\nBy the other one<\/p>\n
The Question He asks
\nTo the disciples sat there
\nWhich gave most money?<\/p>\n
They Wise, able to count
\nSaid the rich woman gave most
\nDerided as mere fools…<\/p>\n
For the poor woman
\nGave all that she had, it all
\nNot what she could spare!<\/p>\n
As in the budget
\nThe worker will give his all
\nThat he has to give<\/p>\n
The rich make great noise
\nFor giving the amount they
\nHave to spare of theirs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
