Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

A letter to the people,
his people in exile,
of acceptance to their lot,
this season in exile,
as willed by the creator.
To make the most of,
to thrive in, a foreign land
to be accepting of their station,
their captivity, their defeat.
To see the faithfulness of God,
the wisdom of being happy
in their time and place.
To bear children,
honoring of God’s promise
and praying for your enemy
Accepting their lot

October 14, 2007 7:53pm
Jeremiah 29:1, 4-7
and the sermon “Serenity, Courage and Wisdom”,
by the Rev. Peter Hey, Concord, NH,
Wesley United Methodist Church
