She came out of love
He came out of pride
She gave her all
He gave of his excess
Her pennies’ sound lost among the silver and gold
His large coins clanked loudly for all could hear
Small offering but not ashamed
Large offering and should have been
No one acknowledged hers, except One
Heads turned and nodded at his “sacrifice”
She left unnoticed, except by One
He stayed to the praise of men
No one knew her name, except One
All knew his and lost in history
She gave all and became rich
He gave little and became poor
She lost her poverty
He gained poverty of soul
She received the attention of God
He received the attention of men
Jesus spoke of both
But only one will live on
One, gave of her whole living
One, gave up a reward
One, life to riches
One, life to nothingness
One, a gift of love
One, a purchase of men’s praise
She in her poverty became far richer than he had ever been
