Raymond A. Foss Poems

To be a stump, living
waiting, open, aware
underground, yearning
for God’s grace
depending on God, His time
new life, a new purpose
the promise of Isaiah
nascent within us,
when we, like Christ
submit our will
for God’s holy work
growing from out of the stump

Isaiah 11:1-9
and sermon, “What Good is a Stump?”,
by Reverend Huntley Halvorson,
