A poem I wrote for a friend of mine who's interested in mission work.

Just walked down to church today

I thought that I would see if anybody cared enough or

Life would even be any different here today from how it used to be

Life here, as I know it, has hardly changed a bit

I even had some trouble trying to find a place to sit

An older man had gotten up, having had enough of this

No one ever said a word, or even knew he left

Sitting there and waiting for the festivities to begin

To my left I saw a girl; she was smiling end to end

Everything was different now and so I asked her

When everything had finished. When I listened

And heard just what she had to say, she looked around and then

Replied, "My name is Jillian, and I'm going home today

To tell them about Jesus, so that they may be saved..."

Good observational work, Josh.

Jilian reminds me of selfless Helen Burns in the novel Jane Eyre;
she seems to have the same unquestioning faith and simplicity.
