"What's the Worst That Could Happen?"

He asked me,

"What was the worst 

that could happen?"

and we collectively agreed

that fruit could be thrown

in my general direction.

"And what is the best?"

he prodded.

"Well, everyone could come

to know Jesus."

This answer came almost

as a whisper

a realization.

Whether I receive fruit

or new believers

This was the task set before me

and I would accept 

and proclaim my duty.
