Reassurance

WINIFRED B. HUBBARD

O anxious one, what is this night that thou dost dread?
Has God's pure light of Truth then ceased to shine—
To show the way to Him who is thy All? Has slumber power
To separate thee from thy God, who never sleeps? Mind, wakeful
and alert
Is guarding thee; and fear is but a dream,
Powerless to harm. No danger shall come nigh
Thee or thy dwelling, for in tender love
Thy Father watches thee; and in His care
Who "owns each waiting hour"* thou safe shalt rest
Until the morning light shall call thee to awake—
Not to disturbing thoughts, but to the recognition clear
Of Love's dear presence e'er encircling thee,
And giving all that thou could'st ask or think—
And more. So in this tender, reassuring truth
Rest thou, till in His likeness thou shalt wake.

*Poems by Mary Baker Eddy, page 4.
