"Learn to forget"

VIAHNETT S. MARTIN

"Learn to forget
what you should not remember."
Letter from Mary Baker Eddy, quoted in The Christian Science Journal, December, 1939, page 469 . Cling to the good,
for that only is true.
Pray for the strength
to refrain from resentment;
Strive for the Love
that will form you anew.

Know that the truth
will change swords into plowshares,
Healing is sure—
oh, stretch out your hand!
Only self hinders—
then self we must conquer;
And thus shall we find
that the warfare is grand.
