Raymond A. Foss Poems

With Christ crucified
humble, simple men
the two thieves on the cross
dying beside the Lord

What they must have felt
their lives slipping away
knowing all too well their own sin
dying beside the unblemished lamb

One would deride him
taunting God, even in pain
the other begging for mercy
receiving the gift of paradise

Two thieves hanging
making such different choices
mocking our savior
or seeking his forgiveness,
confessing our sins to God.
