INSTEAD

Amaryllis Hyde

When I am temptedTo feel impatientWith the adult'sReluctant faith,And annoyedWith the adolescent'sSophistication,And indignantWith humankind'sThoughtlessness,Then help me, dear Father,To pause and rememberThat they, even as myself,Are all underYour mandate of progress,And that one dayWe shall each standFully cladIn the radiancyOf Christ awareness;And help me insteadTo hallow and honorThis perfect selfhoodThat I mayHasten the hourOf its fulfillmentAnd also maintainMy ownPeace of mind.

MY PRAYER

Nancy R. Jeffery

The things I have knownas the mother of three!The things I have done—Shot a gun, flown a plane,Made a dive with a sub, designed a house,Been so high up a mountain, on a horse,I had to get off and walk;Driven an ambulance, marched in a parade,Been special guest of VIP's,Been to parties,I had lots of fun.
