Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

A little rain wasn’t going to stop us
we were there to scrape, to prime the house
to help out, make progress.

Laughing as the rain ran off the roof
and down my back,
holding the ladder
for the scraping above me
Noticing that even the spiders
had found places out of the storm

But we were undaunted, for a time,
and kept painting in the rain
until the showers became
more serious

Title 8/8/07, poem started 8/11/07 11:30, finished August 12, 2007 20:26
Our mission trip,
from Wesley United Methodist Church,
Concord, NH and from First United Methodist Church,
Hudson, MA to Jacksonville and Machias, ME
to the Down East Maine Mission,
Jacksonville United Methodist Campground,
East Machias, ME
