Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Her grandmother
commented on her drawing,
her sketchpad in her lap
sitting on the porch step
I commented that she writes stories too
“She’s very creative”.
She is that, and so much more,
creative and funny, supportive,
imaginative and bossy, big sister
and young child, at times.
She is the oldest, the role model,
the example, the tester, the one
we must get it right with.
Creative, oh yes. A mind that sees
the details; but can conjure a world
in her stories, in the pictures she draws,
yes, even the ones in church,
when she shares them with me,
insistently, when I am listening
to the sermon from the pulpit.
She’s listening too, even then,
because she knows the heart
of the pastor’s message.
Oh yes, Erica is creative;
but that is just the beginning.
