Today's word is pittance: a small amount, a drop in the bucket. One day an old woman put a mite into an offering plate ...
Mite
A gift is given, all one has,
yet to the
untrained eye,
It looks as if a pittance fell
into the
plate with sighs.
What to some seems, but a small drop
into the
bucket deep,
Is known by one who sees the heart
as secrets
in a keep.
