Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

He chose to be strong,
to defy the tempter,
to rebuke the easy path,
the earthy, immediate concern
to center, and ground himself
in the important, the eternal
the path he was on,
about to begin
after the wilderness,
the desert, the temptations
He could make the stone
become bread
He was God
But, he knew the truth,
the weakness of the flesh
the loss, failure, he would commit
if he made bread from the stone

Luke 4:1-13,
Deuteronomy 6:16,
Exodus 17:1-7
