AS I WAIT

Here, where I am, is all I need of good;And as I wait on God to me unfoldsAll affluence, all beauty, and all grace.

AWAKENING

Are you dissatisfied and bowed with griefBecause you lack so very many things?

OUR DAY

Our day is not a period of time,Measuring footsteps into age and blight,But an unfoldment of God's truth sublime,Which knows no waning sun or darkening night.

UNFETTERED

God measures time for us as good unfolds,And He reveals and governs all our way.
I could not go to meet my foe,When Love, my Father-Mother,Came to my aid; then, unafraid,I went to greet my brother.

TRUTH'S ANSWER

In loneliness and anguishMy heart cried out to Thee:"I thought Truth's way was easy,Unfettered, calm, and free.
