WASHING FEET













WASHING FEET


 




 


THE WATER WHICH GLISTENED ON HIS HANDS


HE USED TO SCRAPE THE GRIME FROM THEIR FEET


THE SMELL OF FISH WAS STRONG


ALONG WITH THE DETRITUS OF THE STREET


THE DUST AND SWEAT


 


SOME GIGGLED


SOME THOUGHT


WHAT’S HE DOING NOW


 


SIMON AS USUAL


HAD HIS FOOT IN HIS MOUTH


IT TASTED TERRIBLE


 


LATER THEY WOULD DISCOVER


THAT WHAT HE DID


WAS OFTEN LOVE LETTERS


FOR THE FUTURE


 


THERE WOULD BE AHA MOMENTS


WHEN HIS MEANING WOULD COME CLEAR


 


THEIR GREATEST GIFT TO JESUS


AT THIS TIME


THOUGH THEY OFTEN MISUNDERSTOOD


OR DIDN’T HAVE A CLUE


THEY STUCK WITH HIM


 


HUMAN FRAILTY


RUNNING THROUGH THEM


FEAR AND KNEE’S KNOCKING


THEY STUCK WITH HIM


 


WHEN ALL ELSE WAS TAKEN FROM HIM


HE HAD HIS MOTHER’S LOVE


AND HIS FRIENDS


 


 


FRANK A VOLLMER
