Christian Science Reading Room

Diane Allison

Is it a sign on a street or a sign of Christ come—
welcoming all to a building or a book?
These doors, do they open to a room or
to ideas, radiant with Life?
And these windows? Are they framed in a façade or
in a stranger’s thought, where lifted shades
let in the streaming light of Truth—
revealing what relieves the heavy heart:
“God is Love! I know now what I am—
a blessed, beloved child of God,
forever spiritual,
forever free!”
