Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

The abject example
the lesson of the story
showing mercy for strangers
on the Jericho Road

The unclean stranger
helped by the other
not by his people
tied to ritual

Being love, in his action,
offering the stranger
mercy, assistance
just what he needed
as the Lord would want.

The teaching of our savior
in the answer to the lawyer
how to live righteously
by how we treat the stranger
offering what they need.
