ONE IMPETUS

Mind, which declared itself I AM—Love, all-encompassing, the pure, the true—Utters itself; and to each humbled heartIts promise speaks: I can; I will; I do!

THE FALLING PETAL

A petal from the rose by my bedsideDropped onto the table with a tiny thud,Splintering the silence of the breathless hour,And I became suddenly awake.

WATCHFUL PRAYER

How prayerfully we watchAnd hourly prayTo do God's will!Love points the way.

SWEETER THAN THE SONG OF BIRD

FAR sweeter than the song of birdThe tranquil voice of Truth I heard.

SECURE

Held in God's care,We are secure.

SURETY

Fear not;The Shepherd's gentle rodAppoints your rightful way,And His beneficence is yoursThis newborn day.
