LOVE OWNS ALL

If Love owns all the hours that wait,Standing outside tomorrow's gate,Then need I ask the morrow's task,Or need I fear a prospect drearIf Love owns all the now and here?

EMPLOYMENT

Today I shall approach my workWith ceaseless trust and confidenceThat Mind alone directs and guides,And I reflect intelligence.

TRUE MEANING

As flowers unfold,So come the sacred meaningAnd substance of a truth, each morning mealBringing to lightWith every prayerful gleaningThe messages of God that help and heal.

WHEN?

When shall we rendThe veil,That frailPhantom of mortality?

SANCTUARY

Upon the world's horizon broodsThe challenge of an unspent storm,And over troubled nations spreadsThe shadow of the old alarm.

HOW GOOD TO KNOW

How good to know,Wherever we go,Love has prepared our place;No circumstance,No idle chance,Can govern any case.
