To move out of Moab
Into Israel meant
The crossing of Jordan.
In the House of Bread why
Just gleaning? Naomi
Guided her appetite.
A hen gathers her own
Chicks – but grace protected
Ruth as an orphaned chick.
Bethlehem, House of Bread,
Was not enough – she found
The mighty Man of wealth:
A man who had resource
To meet her need – whose love
Would cause him to spend it.
