Two Copper Coins

With two small coins in vicelike grip

Within his God blessed hands

He started on his virgin trip

To near and far off lands

Would Jesus truly help him now?

Sanction the way before

Before his head and knees could bow

The Wind shut tight the door

He stood amazed as though struck blind

Collecting random thoughts

But then a verse came swift to mind

What Heaven’s Word  reports

Again he stood as though quite dead

His face seemed drained of blood

Just two small copper coins, he read

And then he understood

Offering first the coins on High

Considering The Way

He heard God’s grace would multiply

Within a single day

God said to knock a certain door

The Word was prompt obeyed

Giving the coins the one he saw

He heard this accolade

“Come in my house and take a pew

This church has long been blessed

The pastor of these chosen few

Has gone to endless rest

With love you followed each command

By faith God’s word you keep”

Then Jesus said with beckoning hand

“So come, feed now my sheep”
