Ruth Contest

Ruth


The faith it takes to leave
All you’ve ever perceived.
The grace to go with one
Who already lost their son.
The loyalty to continue 
Until the very end
Demonstrates to all 
What it means to be a friend
God rewards the humble
God rewards the meek
God rewarded Ruth
And gave her more than she did seek.

Though rhyme was not in my list of acceptable forms, I found that I simply had to include this one in the winners because the poem is so good. Though very small in length, it brings out the loyalty and humility and faith of a very exceptional young woman.
