I Wonder...

I Wonder

By Ruth Harms Calkim


You know, Lord, How I serve you

With great emotional Fervor

In the Limelight

You know how eagerly I speak for you

At a Women’s club

You know how I effervesce

When I promote a fellowship group

You know my genuine enthusiasm

At a Bible study

But how would I react, I wonder

If you pointed to a basin of Water

And asked me to wash the calloused feet

Of a bent and wrinkled old woman

Day after day

Month after month

In a room where nobody saw

And nobody knew.
