Love's Care

Love leads!And with faltering, burdened steps,And slow,I follow on to knowAn ever brightening wayThat points to God's unburdened day;BecauseLove leads.

In the Way of the Master

The sun may sink into the glowing west,And twilight deepen into darkest night,And earthly joys and all we thought the bestMay pass us by and quickly fade from sight;

I crave a higher sense of TheeThan poor thought-models would allow,A purer consciousness that feelsThy holy presence here and now.

I ask not other time or space,God's time is now; here is His place.

Heavenward

Now closer to the Christ divinely driven,More patience as the constant race is run,A sin destroyed, a cherished wrong forgiven—The way to heaven, harmony, begun!

Availability

To-day a tiny window in a closèd houseWas opened.

Aspiration

The flying swallow spreads his wingsAnd spurns the earth, as skyward bentAnd on some certain mission sent,Soars unconfined by lower things.

The Ageless Song

From topmost boughs of ancient trees a layOf liquid music, flowing melody,Poured forth from dawn to hush at close of day,Filling the air with joy and harmony.

Floral Apostles*

When in our thoughts sweet flowers bloomThey make green gardens out of sorrow grow,And banish gloom.

Gratitude

Gratitude is uncomplaining,Never counting cost of loving,Never asking or requiringMore than to acknowledge blessing.
