Offering Plate

Pass the offering plate
little envelopes of tithe,
there…duty done. I smile
in self-satisfaction.

But did I tithe all of me
giving from all
God has given me
helping those in need
laughter to those who cry?
Did I tithe love and peace
giving them fully with no regrets?

Pass the offering plate again, Lord.
I want to give more
of this beautiful life
You have so lovingly given me.
