Poems

Ephphatha

From the January 1960 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Give thanks for open thought: for open hands
Outstretched to feed the hungry, sow the seed;
For open hearts, attuned to hear the call
And speak the word that points the open way;
For open eyes, which penetrate the veil
And see with vision clear the perfect man;
For open doors, which bid us pause and read
The open books that all may understand;
For open meetings, where, with lips unsealed,
We tell our friends how Truth has made us free;
But most, give thanks for Love, the open fount,
Unfailing source of every open thought.
