Raymond A Foss Poems

Like the Magi,
We are each on the journey
a quest for the king
...

There is Hope in the words
of my poems, your words
shared with me, my fingers on the keyboard
...

With the prostitutes, the tax collectors
with the unclean, the lepers
Christ is the voice of inclusion
...

Hope came, in the birth of the Son
to bring hope to the people, waiting for so long
for the stem, the root, to bring forth hope
...

My teacher
A force in my life
Keeping me with the pack
...

In happy moments
moments when she
isn't pouting,
...

An anniversary
Of a moment
(if many hours can be but a moment)
...

Changing our focus, the nature of our ways
less greed, more compassion, more sharing
for all whom we meet, for all in the world
...

We gathered, took time off,
pondered our freedom,
on the anniversary
...

They meet after months and yet
The time melts away
And they are back in the swing
...
