The truth be known,
We know she couldn't.
For in her dire situation
What she really had,
Was just an ounce of faith,
And a ton of desperation.
And yet even though
Elijah knew this,
Did he chide her,
To increase it?
Or advise her,
On how she ought to
Strengthen it?
Or did he simply sigh,
And say the Lord
Must have meant someone else?
No,
He didn't.
In fact,
He seemed to think
A mustard seed of faith,
Was just enough for her,
To do what with?
It was just enough for her,
To have something in her heart
To give away!
But,
What became of
Her feeble faith,
The very moment that she did?
So what are we
To think then?
That she was just
An ordinary widow,
With no extraordinary reason,
To explain the reason
She was singled out?
Surely not!
Perhaps it was because
She was so full of happiness,
It overflowed,
And everyone around her
Wanted what she had?
But no,
Not from what
She told Elijah.
Okay,
Then what about the strength
Of her relationship,
With the Lord?
Was this the reason
