Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

The friends rightly named
of the paralytic
carried to where Jesus was
not stopped by the barrier
taking it on themselves
to get him to Christ

Lifting him up
though he was injured
a beggar on the street
asking for food
caring for him
though he could not repay them
bringing him to the roof
where they punched a hole

Lowered down,
descending to Jesus
to be healed
made well, made whole
restored from his illness
by the love of our savior
and those who had helped him
into the church
