Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

God planting a seed
a hope for reconciliation
one people, one hope in him
after major pruning

Turning his back on us
because we refuse to be faithful
a nascent hope only
to be buried in the ground
for another season

Dormant in the days of Lo-Ammi
not his holy people
praying we may claim that future
walking as children of God

He remains faithful
hope even in judgment
that we would return to him
and cleave once more
to our father, our king
