Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

There was life in the shoot
the shoot of Jesse
growing up out of the root
the child, the Son
was born, we were reborn
when the shoot of Jesse
fulfilled the promise
the promise of God
told to the prophet Isaiah
fulfilling the hopes of the nation
the people of the Book
the covenant people,
children of Abraham
There is life in the shoot
life for each of us
in the company
the relationship
with our brother
living out the dream
the trust in the coming of God
once again
the ultimate coming
of the kingdom of God

December 9, 2007
Isaiah 11:1-10
