Jesus, Master, commands,
“Be born again”; “be perfect.”*
Christ appearance shows
man’s spiritual origin, no
mortal infant birth.

Size, color of eyes,
months, years, days
are unavailing witnesses.

Spirit records one God,
perfect man His creation.
Life’s continuation exists
daily to be claimed.
Mind’s eternal circle
knows no learning curve.

Spirit’s fearless likeness
validated as mature,
is eternally newborn, 
unbracketed by time—
engraved in ageless rock,
certified by Love.

—Grace H. Carter

* See John 3:3 and Matthew 5:48
