Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

A restless group of teens
Gathered around a large circle
Listening to me read the scripture
Nodding at the intent of the writer.
To get the result he wanted.

The epistle, the business letter,
The prodding and the pleading,
The guilting, shaming, the reader,
The recipient, to act.
He wasn’t coerced, pressured,
Not much!

September 9, 2007
Philemon 1:1-21 & verse 22…
Paul asks a favor, and reminds Philemon,
That “I saved you!”
