POEM OF THE WEEK

More Than Enough

“Something is better than nothing,”
I say to myself.
Still another voice persists:
“Will my gift, which appears so meager,
count amid this sea
of other offerings?”
I ache with doubt.
And yet I saw how my leaking faucet
filled a bucket last night,
one drop at a time.
More isn’t always the most,
and less isn’t always the least.
Even the smallest act on behalf of one life
can make a world of difference.
The endless possibilities lie with the One
who can take whatever I am,
whatever I have,
and make it more than enough.
Something is better than nothing.
And nothing is worse
than nothing at all.
