Frozen in a moment of time
Yes, frozen, as most statues are
And marble too: mostly cold and
Still, in a forgotten place without
Anyone to wonder who she was
Or how she came to be memorialized
In stone. So cold and alone
She sits by a well in eternal service,
Forever offering water to passers-by
Who never come or come unthirsty
Like Christ, who understands
What it means to be forgotten by most
As He waits, and offers, and is thought
Cold and stone like most statues are.
