Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Brutal honesty, to ourselves mainly
opening wounds, covered, buried
exposing them to the light, to his grace
to put them behind us,
to lay down those burdens
some carried for year on year
Laying them at the foot of the cross
Rising again in fellowship, in the sharing
the eating of the bread, dipping in the cup
Exposed wounds healing in this very moment
lighter steps out of the service than entering
A moment of redeeming grace
acted out in community
a special gift of this day
on this wonderful journey together.
