Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

An image of the garden
of the servant in the farmhouse
praying for the seedlings
that have already borne good fruit

The farmer as a member
a branch of the one vine
remembering the little ones
the seedlings left behind

Yet all of us together
part of one living prayer
all of us connected
rooted in the vine

Each of us bearing fruit
each one in turn
abiding in the vine
lifting each other up

Praying for each other
whether near or far
bound to one another
branches of the living vine
