REFLECTION

Olive Scholes

SINCE man reflects Soul in beauty, calm,Serenity, and peace,We fear no tumult, stress, or strainBut find releaseFrom whirling moods of mortal sense,Tossing, unsure:In spiritual consciousnessWe dwell secure.

GRATITUDE

Dulcie Geddes

In moments when I seem to beThe victim of despondencyOr pain or agonizing fear, Bereft of all I hold most dear,Without a gleam of inward lightTo dissipate the gloom of night;If then I give my gratitudeFor all the blessings, all the goodWhich I inherit as God's child,My heart with joy will be so filledThat evil thoughts will pass away,As darkness is dispelled by day.
