The One In the Chair
Perched upon her swivel chair,
she sits and types and smiles;
There’s no doubt since she’s been here,
her fingers have walked a thousand miles.
In and out they come each day,
unburdening their troubled souls;
Before they ever reached the Pastor,
she listens, she prays, she knows.
The load that’s dumped upon her desk,
would make some scream and run;
But Janet’s not made like that,
she somehow joyfully gets it all done.
Where does she get the strength to do,
a Bible study, a family and job?
I know it must be just because
she has placed her faith in God.
A diet coke sits near her hang,
the post-it-notes are all around;
a warning reads, “Don’t from here take a thing!”
Or your body I’ll surely pound.
Well, Church Secretaries are a rare breed,
cast from a different mold;
and if we ever were long without one,
our church would probably fold.
Larry Spark
and thanks Janet!
