To be: A conjugation

Peter Anderson

“I AM . . .
  THAT I AM,” ^{Exodus 3:14} God, the only power;
you are . . .
  His perfect, complete image and likeness;
he is, she is . . .
  the compound idea reflecting Father-Mother God; so
we are . . .
  never outside God’s omnipresent care, including
they who are . . .
  our brothers and sisters:
  never wandering, never forgotten, always beloved
  by the one, all-knowing, universal God.
God is the great I am, eternally—
  Principle, Mind,
      Soul, Spirit,
          Life, Truth, and Love—
who was, and is, and always will be.
