A Waste?
The woman with the perfume
Pouring it out on Jesus.
Criticism
From disciples
Who know how Jesus thinks
About the poor.
Or do they?
How did she feel
There in that inner circle?
Calling her act a waste.
Did it cut like a knife
To her heart?
Then Jesus
The healer of broken hearts
Touches the very spot
Where she has just been wounded.
Sees and accepts her act
For the devotion it is.
A deed to be remembered forever.
