Poems

Hold it!

From the May 1981 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"...hold fast that which is good"
(I Thess. 5:21)

Within God, good,
could evil ever have a foothold?
Or even a toehold?
It has no hold.
Perfection is free of chip/crack/crevice;
No place there for evil's clinging.

So, friend, within you (image)
could such a hold exist?
Resist that lie!
Persist in loving your own whole, Soul-made being—
and hold thought there.
