Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Changing our course,
our lives moving up stream
against the grain
counter to the lesions of this life
focusing on God,
on the state of our hearts
on the cares of our fellow man
Not tacking to the winds
the drive of our society
leaving our possessions
following the Christ
against the grain of history
following the true light
our guiding star, our brother
the risen Christ
