LISTENERS AT BETHANY

The listeners who stood in sorrow's gloomHeard Jesus thank his Father and demand,"Take ye away the stone.

CHRISTMAS DAY

The shepherds brought their simple faith,The Wisemen offered goldAnd costly frankincense and myrrh;Each brought his gift of old.

GRATITUDE

Birds brightly sing for little crumbsThat kind hands toss their way,And gladly greet the light that comesTo turn the dark to day.

A SONG OF THANKSGIVING

She garnered her blessings into thought;Counted them, cherished them, but forgotThe lesser ones.

PRAYER FOR THE WORLD

Constant ray of Science,Beam of living light!Flood the mourner's sadnessWith Love's healing might.

THE HEALING ART

Immortal man divinely real,Light-winged and glory-shod.

TRUTH

I found the thread of knitted thoughtsEntangled with the yearsAnd pulled the snarls of false belief,Unraveling hidden fears.

FOR THIS I PRAY

For this I pray:Courage to walk the heavenward wayThough friends forsake me here,And I must yield for heavenly gainEarth ties I now hold dear.
