Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Something odd
from a family law attorney
an advocate for one side
not always able to compromise

Yet the words we choose
in every setting
something we can ponder
before they are loosed

A prayer in this moment
in this season of sorrow
for our people, our nation
that we would come together

That our words would heal
far more than the other
that comity would flow
from our trembling lips

Peace in our discourse
even in disagreement
that healing would come
flowing from each heart


January 10, 2011
after the national moment of silence
January 10, 2011 at 11:00am EST
for the Tucson shooting victims
