Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Powerful, supreme and independent
Creator, ruler
eternal father, mother, sustainer
The one who conjured all from the void
in grand design, and physical laws
heavens and earth, cell and mountain,
beating hearts, and mouths to sing

Gifts you give, give to us
dominion, responsibility
to tend your handiwork
in the brief season
when we, like the plant,
grow, flower, bloom, and die.
