INVARIABLE ANSWER

Lolita L. Shelley

Ofttimes this is my prayer:
How can I serve my God and brother better?
The answer which is given never varies,
"My son, observe the spirit, not the letter."

Ofttimes this is my prayer:
Where can I serve my God and brother more?
The answer which is given never varies,
"Right where you are; stand porter at thought's door."

Ofttimes this is my prayer:
When can I serve my God and brother most?
The answer which is given never varies,
"Now is the time to be thy brother's host."

Lolita L. Shelley
