Ruth To Riches

Ruth, Orpah, Naomi.  Each robbed by the grave.
Three widows, hearts breaking, now trek the unknown.

Then Orpah turns back, but Ruth vows, true and brave
That the God of Naomi, is her God alone.

A new home, a new spouse, a child He gave.
From Bethlehem's poor comes a family throne.

And now, on this globe, when the story is told.
From Moab, one "Ruth," lists in Christ's lineage bold.

interesting first poem, Maria, , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
