Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

As old as the first pair,
the first brothers, a question,
“Am I my brother’s keeper?”
A test of our world, of man,
throughout the scripture
throughout time, for each one to answer
each person, each generation
Are we to reach out? Are we to share?

Christ gave all, shared his love with all
became a servant, even to death
His message was clear, his hope complete
that we would see him in each other
that our love would be poured out
one to another, that all would be cared for
all would be healed, all would find plenty
where none would be forgotten
and left from the table
