The Riches of Poverty

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 5:3

Humility is the Mother of Virtue

and I am an orphan

sitting on the wayside

of the only path forward

I pray to be shown

the riches of poverty

while turning my head

from the need to know God

surely, goodness and mercy

will follow me but

I set the course

determine the timetable

the Kingdom of Heaven awaits

as I stumble and stagger in fits and starts

expecting to travel on a full belly

yet be counted among the blessed
