Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Using their words
turned right around
transforming their hate
into love

Offering hope
in this connection
living out their faith
in holy conversation

Wishing to be
what God would call us to be
being Christ
in the face of evil

Offering love
when they would spew hate
none of us to judge
for we know our fate

Judge not we are told
because of the mirror
forgiving others
that God would show mercy

God’s grace alone
the gift of the cross
Christ’s sacrifice for us
for all of mankind
