Raymond A. Foss Poems

The nails, our names
the scars of his palms
our names, his sacrifice
engraved on the palms of his hands

Offering himself,
our brother, our savior
carrying the marks
up in heaven, to this day

Revealed when we doubt
the marks on his palms
each one a testament
to his unending love
