SHARING

I made complaint to God:"You gave me precious seed, but only sandto plant them in! I'll share with friendto whom you gave a richer land!"
If one's own pardon one has grace to win,God's gift, reflection, glow where sense had been;A brother's lark of hope and faith, on wing,Might rise and rise, and thence more bravely sing.

PEACEMAKERS

Each is a star,shining resplendently in the heaven of Soul;Each may flower,bathed in spiritual light;Every one voicingglad birdsong;All children of Lovebelonging to the one Father, Mind.

THE WALK TO EMMAUS
