A Poem Draft

Second Week in Lent

"To know the goodness of God is the highest prayer of all."
-- JULIAN OF NORWICH


What lowly treasures do I bring,
like macaroni strung on string,
to Christ my Savior, God, and King:
good deeds like beads or bits of shell
to One who saves from death and hell!

Not though I plan and toil and fret
can I repay a tenth my debt,
or can return the good I've met;
all I can do is show I know
and scatter mercies as I go.
