Triduum – Pedilavium

This from a man
who could have
everything

All You want
in return
is a shadow
of Your kindness

Bless me with
gifts of Your love
for the community

My tears of
gratefulness
join in the bowl

So I too
can humbly
wash the feet
in front of me

I so want
to shout out
stop
no more of this

But I have learned
this is the way
it must be

As I process
among the crowd
and the way
towards You

Sadness
slowly turns
to
thankfulness

My turn now
to touch and feel
loves tenderness

As I walk
among the crowd
I encounter every day

I must remember
because of You
I am also raised

He has left
this world
to rescue
those before

In the silence
I wait …….
for His
return

While old
friends go
home with Him

In the silence
I pray
that all of us
can be with You
in paradise
