Mary shows love unbound
known in anointing
Before burial, before death
with the oils of
Preserving, care, washing
all of the sorrows
Ahead of time, it took
all she had saved
So they debated an act
of pure love
Made it cheap because
it could have been
Better spent, to feed
to help, to clothe
Jesus would have none
of this spoiling
No, he recognized the
pure gift of heart
Given in the costly act
of care spilled
