Poems

THE LOST

Who was the lamb that wandered wildIn woodlands, dubious and cold,Who left the meadows, green and mild,Who left the starry foldTo wander 'neath an alien sky?

HOME

The sanctuary of home is with us now,The door unbarred, the windows open wide,As we reflect the consciousness of Love,And know no other dwelling place beside.

SUPPLY

Man has always been—will ever be—Divinely authorized,

UPON THE MOUNT

Standing amid the groups where men assemble,I hear how greed, distrust, and fear have rentNations apart: how evil's subtle guiseWould seek to warp the judgment of the wise;How sin, disease, and lack are prevalent.

SALVATION

It does not satisfy my needy stateThat Christ should walk the stormy seas this night:I wonder not.

HEALING

There is a secret, sacred place,A sanctuary of Spirit;The truth of man forever with the FatherIn pure reflection.

ULTIMATE ACHIEVEMENT

The pledge, "I'll do the best I can,"Is common to the speech of man.

UNIVERSAL LOVE

Our Father has no favorite child;His fullness and His graceBelong to all, and everyoneIs held in Love's embrace.
