Who Is This Man
I was doing my simple task,
Drawing water from the well.
A man I did not recognize appeared, asking for a drink,
Yet he had nothing to draw water.
I could tell instantly that he was a Jew.
But what was a Jew doing talking to me,
A female Samaritan?
This is against custom.
He mentions a living water that could satisfy my thirst.
How this “living water” is possible, I do not know,
But I do know I want it.
He asks me to get my husband,
Yet he knows I do not have a husband.
He knows I have had five husbands.
How would he know this about me if we’ve never met?
Maybe he is a prophet.
How he speaks astounds me.
He speaks of my sins with such love in his voice,
But how could someone love me despite my many husbands?
This is true unconditional love.
Could this be the Messiah?
In amazement, I abandoned my water at the well.
I wish the whole world to be acquainted with this man of wonder.
