Poem

True understanding gives us newborn sightCleansing our thought of what we think we seeIn those we mingle with from day to day,And most in those to whom our hearts are drawn;Helps us to see our brother, as did Jacob,Doubtful of Esau's motive, when he prayedTo God for help, and, reaping his reward,Said to his brother.
