BE NOT DISTRESSED

Nancy L. Holder

Be not distressed
Or shocked by mortal evidence,
But unimpressed,
As Jesus was.
For he stretched forth his hand
And touched the suppliant;
And where leprosy
Appeared, to mortal sense,
He beheld purity
And Godlikeness.
Love's Christlike vision can
See through repellent cloud of earthliness
To our own brother;
And there is no other
Man.
