We Do Not Grieve

HAZEL HARPER BRANDNER

We do not grieve when watching down the street
To see a loved one turn and pass from sight,
Because we trust that we again shall meet
When work is done and lamps of home are bright.

When one turns out from earth, we still may know
That he has work to do at Soul's behest,
And that his guided thought steps surely go
Toward Spirit's beacon light and Love's sweet rest.

His journey homeward, then, is but the space
It takes the human heart to know in full
That man abides in Life, his home the place
Of his innate accord with Principle.

Truth comforts us and shows that all is well,
Since man is one with God, and so we find
That we can have no parting, for we dwell
At home together in the realm of Mind.
