What is the Treasure - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

What is it that you carry
especially in this season
in the clay vessels of our bodies
out into the world

What is it that you carry
what is the treasure
what do you carry
when you go about your day

God has given us
the gift of our Savior
pouring out himself
as an offering on the cross

Coming to the earth
humble, as a child
walking in servanthood
at the calling of the Master

What is the treasure
you carry this season
How do you share the gift
out in this troubled world
