Poems

LOVE

Love enfolds us,Ever holds usIn its warm and tender care;Guarding, guiding,Still providing,Proving God is everywhere.

THOU SHALT PREVAIL

Threshing his wheat in frantic haste, young GideonStraightened his back and scanned the shimmering hills,To catch the glint of Midianitish spears,And saw an angel underneath an oak.

HOME

Parting Is a dream untenable,Unreal,Because we always areAt homeIn His great Love.

BRIGHT SHINING

Do not disdain the penitential tears.

THE PRACTITIONER

He turns to Mind throughout the day,Not once nor twice but every hour,To guide him in the narrow way,As God-endued to speak with powerThe Word of Truth and Love, to healOr raise from sin the living dead,While in humility to kneelBefore the word, "Take up thy bed.

RAINDROPS OF DIVINITY

The gracious rain falls on the famished fields:The tranquil, waiting earth drinks thirstily,And empty stream beds parched and gray with dustBear laughing, singing waters to the sea.

FULLNESS OF JOY

A deep , abiding joy does not need laughterTo express its presence or its power,For God's own Son, known as the "man of sorrows,"Gave us his joy that our joy might be full.
Jesus bade the servantsbring water unto himand fill the waterpots of stone;they filled them to the brim.
