Poem November 1, 1982 Issue

Could I?

MARY GUINN MEYER

Gratitude:
A gracious, wellborn feeling
But could I know—on my own—
Its infinite power
Its totality
Its fullness of blessing?
No, not on my own.

But with my hand in the Father's—
Never alone—
I found
A spiritual peace
In my daily round:
The priceless, overdue release
From human will, fear.

I found
The magnitude of gratitude:
All-engulfing,
Ever near.
