SUBSTANCE

Mary M. Hitchcock

How rich man is!
As yet we do not dream the things
The Father hath to give His son.
As we awake we shall perceive.
And seeing, have. It is not gold
Or goods that make us rich, but love
Which penetrates the secret stores
That wisdom holds. Then we shall know
Ourselves complete and whole, for all
The substance of God's world is ours
If we are willing to receive,
And understand.

Mary M. Hitchcock
