The Widow's Song

 With God be her glory,

where fellowship,

a joy divine,

distracts her

from her healing pain.


Run to the church

and pray your debts

to the Almighty.


Dedicate your hope

to build on nothing less

than mournful holiness. 


Gather at His Humble Hands

to hold her crumbling heart.


A beautiful word

as her voice carries

in this place of thinning faith. 


The weeping widow

spider spins a web

of her soul's sincerest desires.


Then shares the bread

of new loneliness.
