Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Wisdom poured down,
palpable wisdom
like a living stream
pouring forth
from behind the pulpit
out onto the
hushed sanctuary

Octogenarian preaching on faith
a congregations listening
many his peers
nodding at the affirmations
the sage understandings
acknowledging real examples

Christian faith explained
nested scripture,
woven, joined with the
fabric of his life,
our common experiences
imparted wisdom, compassionately,
with authority

June 10, 2007 16:31
Romans 4:13-25 & Hebrews 11:1-10
based on the sermon, “Hearing Faith”, by
the Reverend Orin D. Watson, retired ordained
elder with the Illinois Great Rivers Conference
of the United Methodist Church, a pastor for over
60 years, and a wonderful witness to faith
