Beautiful poem, Roy. And truth is wherever you write.

Mother Teresa is a great example of reflecting the true purpose of life; I am humbled reading this brilliant verse as well as your own dedication in serving God; God bless you.

Comment from Mrs. KT
Hello!
Well, you certainly received your answer! I attended a Catholic elementary school, and believe me, cleaning was always a high priority! Your poem flows well.
If I may point out: You wrote in the third line: "Its" and this needs to be changed to "It's" or "It is."
Best Wishes and keep cleaning!

Comment from Teri7
Roy, This is so very true my friend. Such great heartfelt words you have penned. When the Lord touched me and brought me back to the living I started helping clean the church also. It is one of my greatest joys. I used not to envision myself as a janitor, but now I am happy to be one for the Lord's house! How He can change us is so remarkable isn't it! Blessings, Teri

Comment from AnnaLinda
Roy,,
Wonderful poem, wonderful theme and background for this top rated
piece! That's a theme I've heard before in church...be willing to clean
the toilet...I don't even like cleaning my own toilet.
Nice rhythm and rhyme. "Its just so hard to ever learn -- "
I believe you need and apostrophe in "its" as it is a contraction.
I won't be attending church and I definitely won't be cleaning it.
The church flushed me down the toilet long ago..and there is no
bitterness whatsoever...just wisdom.

Good afternoon, Roy
Enjoyed the poem and the story. Yes, God does work in different ways. I see it in little things, which others might see as serendipitous or take as mere chance, that make me aware he's around.
Take care and stay safe,
Ray

Love the word. He does, He expects to have a pure heart that we may see Him. With a pure heart a servant is born. Obedience creates activity and finds its way into eon. Well done, Bro.

Comment from doggymad
This was an thought provoking write Roy. We can never hope to achieve His level of perfection, but should be proud to serve him.
No all would see cleaning the church as a 'calling', but after all it is where His presence is the strongest.

Well, I read them out of order so I understand part two better. Both parts are very well written, I just love how the words flow. True story? Once again very interesting story.

Comment from TAB_that's me
Such a wonderful thing for you do and a wonderful story poem as well. I like to volunteer - don't have much time now but do so when I can. I hope to do more when I retire. We did some service while on vacation last month in St. Croix, us virgin islands. It feels holes in my heart:)
