Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Standing in the river
swirling around them
far more than water
the fate of humankind

Standing in the river
hesitantly agreeing
baptizing our savior
love come to earth

Swirling around them
treachery and power
sin needing to be washed away
with something stronger than water

Repenting not enough
needing the cleansing
the healing he would provide
in fulfillment of his ministry
