Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

unlike the rich man
unable to be satisfied
needing more in his barns
never enough for him
Godly discontent
in the things, struggles,
desires, keeping us from God
striving, righteous, to let go
to define our happiness,
contentment by who we are
not by what we have
to reach out to our neighbors,
our brothers, our sisters
to love our neighbors
and worship God
Turning from the world
our will, our decision
to follow the Lord
a servant to his will
