Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Trying to be faithful
to the teachings of Christ
seeking his grace
in my daily life

Straining forward
against the bit of my resistance
wanting to lead
when I should be led

Taking his yoke
raising to my shoulders
actually lowering myself
to feel it around my neck

Only then able
walking with my savior
going with my brother
in the way that leads to life
