GOD, MY ONLY RELATIVE

Althea Brooks Hollenbeck

I am God's child, for His creation
includes me—whole, intact.

This is eternal fact!
It is not play for consolation
because of crumbling pleasures
of matter's so-called treasures.
It is glorious inspiration
to prove myself His demonstration—
to rise from mortal dream
and wake to Life supreme!

Could I desire more blessed relation
or wish for any other
than God, my Father-Mother?
