Hi, I'm Beverley Joy of Simply Story Poetry. This Christian devotional poem zooms in on a day in the life of Ruth from the Bible. The setting for this poem is when Ruth has returned to Naomi's hometown, and she has stepped out into her new community looking for work and food, as she and Naomi are in a destitute state of poverty. The poem follows the events of the book of Ruth, chapter two. I wrote this poem in 2019 after having written my poem titled 'Famine or Feast' a few years earlier, which I published here last week, based on the Bible story of Ruth and Naomi. You can read or listen to my poems at Simply Story Poetry on Facebook or at simplystorypoetry.com.
