Poem

I am listeningWhen all sense of self is put away,When fear has fled and error's nightHas been replaced by Love's revealing day,When with calm trust I knowThat God owns every hour,When I can wait, assuredThe Father with His love and powerMaps and marks the willing traveler's way—A way harmonious, bright, wherein each step is shown,Because the traveler makes true listening his own.
