Christ washed my feet

I can hear the others
shocked to see the Master
stripped as a servant
bowing before us
coming forward
around the upper room
washing each one of our feet
each of us in turn
Christ washed my feet
to remind me I am a servant
no servant greater than the Master
and Christ humbled himself
none of us better
all to be servants
offering love to our neighbors
to all whom we meet
