Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

The street people
homeless and alone
the shepherds watching
in the cities, urban landscape
in the dark, cold night
They would be the ones
hearing the songs of the angel choir
going to the place under the bridge
where the Christ child was born
there to find the father and mother
the child wrapped as best they could
Kneeling at the savior’s bed
a box, newspapers, that was all
there in the cold of night
answering the angels call
Out into the world
proclaiming the Messiah’s birth
wondering who would listen to the message
such humble witnesses
alone in the streets
