Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

In our work, in our lives, in all we do
all are called, though we may not hear
to ministry, to being witnesses
to minister, where we are, what we do
bringing Christ to the world
setting the captives free
mindful of the eyes watching
and when they are not
Maybe not saving a people
but maybe just that
Maybe stopping an injustice, just one
that might change a single life
maybe smiling when someone has his head down
needing that smile
Words we may share, strong words
from the mouth of God
breathed into scripture, ears for ones calling out
Love we have to give, modeled by the son
hands we have, to life up one another
Feet to walk that extra mile
Arms to hold each other
Lives to join with our creator
our savior, in his holy work
