Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

A sick ten year old
thought of me, before herself
this afternoon, in the quiet of the house
knowing my need to work on cases, files,
to put the client before myself
She acted in kind, and got her own
seconds on the soup I made for her
shut off the timer, agreed with
her younger sister
on the show to watch
left the house quiet
so I could do my work,
not asking, demanding attention
doing it herself
as a gift to me
One I acknowledge then
and memorialize now
Nice job Erica
Thank you
