Martha Poem by Gert Strydom

She really knew Him well,
but not as well as she could have
and was all the time busy preparing

getting things ready
and listening here and there,
but not really finding the time
to listen and to talk as deep

as she needed to
and when He was gone,
she had done her best
to be of service to Him,
but He wasn't any more there
to share His knowledge
and she really missed Him
the blessings
of His presence and love.
