RUTH


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.
