REFLECTION

Here , fringed by snow-clad mountain peaks,The lake—serenity expressed—Calm and unruffled, mirrors forthA picture of great strength—at rest.

JEWELED MOMENTS

There are moments when illusion,with its fine-spun subtlety,weaves an evil-patterned fabricon the loom of apathy.

ANSWERED PRAYER

No earnest prayer sent forth on wingsOf hope and faith that all may proveCan go unanswered, for it singsOf gratitude and unselfed love.

The smallest ray of TruthIn darkest night,When clung to in our need,Can put to flightAbysmal thoughts of fearAnd lead us whereWe see our Father's love—In answered prayer.

ETERNAL LIFE

Before belief's time-world took form,Or temporal things seemed true,Or solar day brought cloud or storm,Or night obscured Life's view,Or error's serpentine deceitClaimed mortal life began,God saw His universe completeIn perfect spiritual plan.

GOD'S WILL

Thy will be done.

LOVE

Does another seem unkind?

GROWTH

With nature's bud we do not interfere.

TRANSPARENCY

Into our hearts God sent His Word;And light beyond compareReveals the wondrous forms of MindUnfolding everywhere.

OUR NEED IS MET

With fire by night and cloud by dayA multitude was shown the wayWhen Israel marched through storm and stressAcross the ancient wilderness.
